Issue: media-libs/cglm misses USE=static-libs and installs '.a' files.
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: lanodanOverlay_tinderbox)

The best solution is avoid to build the '.a' files by touching the configure. In case the buildsystem makes your life hard, a good compromise would be just remove the files.

NOTE: If you want to change the summary, to avoid auto-filed duplicates, please at least keep the word 'static-libs'

This package is now in :gentoo proper, and does not install .a files in the packaged version, so it's probably easiest to treeclean it from the overlay to solve this issue.
