Comment (by bdubbs):
From pierre.labastie:
.la files are really evil. In BLFS, libxml2.la makes everything depending
on libxml2.so.2 also depending on libicu*.so.${version}. And when icu is
upgraded (its soname often changes) tons of packages have to be rebuilt.
Now I remove those .la files after installing any package.
