Martin, That is my point...at least for 10.6. Because of the Xquartz issue and the absence of a binary installer for fink on x86_64 fink, we have a window of opportunity to rid ourselves of .la files on x86_64 if we want to take it. The longer the wait the more complaints we will get from users when we implement it.
