Just add *.a to PURGE_TARGETS in makepkg.conf rather than manually
removing them. Anyone who needs them can disable that.

Nice solution. We should add *.a to the default PURGE_TARGETS in the
next pacman release. Static libs will die out then pretty quick.
Maybe after some time a ToDo list could clean the older packages then.

I agree to remove unneeded static libraries. However, we need to take
care because the default building system of some packages, eg
suitesparse, only provide static libs. I suggest to send patches/bug
reports upstream for these packages.
For suitesparse, I sent a patch upstream a few months ago.
Cheers,
