If people are using a system with
gnome installed to develop gnome, it's not strange they run into
problems.
I call shenanigans. I do this kind of stuff all the time. It's easy to
use a custom prefix (i.e. not /usr) if you select the right configure
options. It means you get a working system but can also develop the next
version. I've been doing this kind of stuff for years. The removal of
the .la files will make this approach much easier.
Let's make one thing clear, however. These .la files are not created or
installed by packagers, but rather by the build system of (in this case)
gnome libraries. And maybe you are quite happy with the absolute paths
in the .la files in your buildroot/prefix.
