+
+Problems with dirty hacks are NOT a valid reason to remove libtool 
+convenience libraries aka .la files.
+
+&gt;<i> Seems some distributions misunderstand the need and changed the wiki

+What are you talking about here?
+

+It is more likely that your build system is broken. If you do not want to 
+link against system libraries, remove /lib and /usr/lib from the library 
+search dirs list.
