Hello!

It seems, that one of the source of the reporoducibilty issues with the gcc
build output is that it contains la files with libdir recorded.
Libtool records that in those la files.
I wonder if we have any solution to that already, because it seems to
affect every project using libtool.

If not, do we have any idea to solve this? It would be great if we could
come up with some generic solution to the problem.
