>From Debian Policy 10.2:
Packages that use libtool to create and install their shared
libraries install a file containing additional metadata (ending in
.la) alongside the library. For public libraries intended for use
by other packages, these files normally should not be included in
the Debian package [...]
Can you give more details of how the Open MPI build fails without the .la file?
When you say building Open MPI from scratch do you mean rebuilding the Debian
package, or building from an upstream tar file, or ...?
