Created attachment 579592 [details, diff] proposed patch Please do not remove *.a files from $ED when properly using libtool: Cygwin does use *.dll.a for the import library, required to link against the "shared library". Upon configure --disable-static, libtool does not create the static library at all - as long as it is able to create the shared library. Thoughts? OK to push attached patch (with revbump for the non-live ebuild)? Thanks!

And the *.a file name may be used with shared libraries too (*.dll.a on Cygwin), so we may end up without any library when removing *.a.
