Even that will typically prefer ./libfoo.so over ./libfoo.a unless
you're also using -static or similar.

It’s probably a very nice case, but having a prerequisite like “-lfoo” that
matches a “libfoo.a” target would be useful for decoupling say one makefile
with the rule “main.exe: -lfoo” and another in subdir “foo” that has “libfoo.a:
libfoo.a(foo/foo.o)”. The only change needed to have make choose

Oh right. I forgot: the "-lxxx" form is only valid for system libraries
or other pre-existing lib
That results in "make: *** No rule to make target '-lfoo', needed by
'main.exe'. Stop.", unless of course libfoo.a is already installed.
