I am a little bit confused by the suggestion; you mean removing all .la files from all packages? I thought they were there for a reason, and usually recorded the dependencies. For instance, doing a "guix build mpc" and looking at libmpc.la, my impression is that I see correct information. Why would one want to force upstream to add a pkgconfig dependency additionally to libtool? Or do I misunderstand the suggestion? Andreas
