I seriously doubt people do want that. I don't want to compile from kernel, glibc upwards just to build 5 gnome or KDE modules.... I will want to use *some* system stuff and *some* self compiled stuff. Removal of .la files will make this much easier. I can't count the times I've had to do dirty hacks to work around these linking issues.
