You can safely remove all *.la as well in /lib and /usr/lib, but not in subdirectories where an app will need them to run successfully, such as ImageMagick. But for my own builds, I use --disable-static or remove the static libs if installed with no option to disable and remove the libtool archive, as well. Most likely safer to disable the building and installation of static libraries during the build phase. You bring up a good point.
