Which, apparently still needs me to get started with gar :-(

Yes. If you have any questions about GAR you are welcome to post them here :-)

And anyway, both of these sound like hacks, instead of fixing the real problem which requires removing the
broken .la files from the distribution.

Removing them will also help regular OpenCSW users, not just the maintainers.

Absolutely. However, there are not all packages in GAR and
rebuilding all packages containing .la-files is a huge amount
of work. That's why we decided to remove them one by one.
Unfortunately, this means breaking other package builds who
rely on a full .la-chain. To solve this, the script fixes
these broken chains in the meantime. If you want the .la-files
removed on a specific package you are free to file a bug report.


Best regards
