Comment (by fbissey):
I am not sure what other answer you were expecting from me. Distros like
Gentoo (and most others I would think) get rid of them. The good question
is how to do it in sage? The easiest way would be for `sage-spkg` to do
the scanning. We don't want it to be done as an afterthought once the
`sage` build is finished.
The problem is that you don't have a staging phase before putting the file
in your tree. So you cannot `stage` then remove the ugly stuff and then
put it in your tree (or prefix if you will). Which means that essentially
you may have to scan the whole `$SAGE_LOCAL/lib` for `.la` file after you
have issued `make install` for every package. Could it be added to `sage-
spkg` to do once `spkg-install` proper is finished? How would that
interact with `spkg-check` is also something to think about because
building test may rely on these `.la` files.
