If a mingw package build produces a ".a" file that is not usable as a static library, is there any reason to include that ".a" file in the package at all?

The specific case I'm wondering about is mingw-pthreads. I need a static version, and mingw-pthreads needs special attention to build a static version. The current package does include ".a" files in the package, but they're definitely not static. Would it be appropriate to just leave those out, and build actual static ".a" libraries to be put into a "-static" subpackage?

Thanks!
Eric
