Details

Description: At least on i686, libsasl installs four .la files. If they are not needed, shouldn't they be slayed? If they are needed, shouldn't the PKGBUILD specify options=(libtool...) in case the user has changed the /etc/makepkg.conf default to !libtool?

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Changing the defaults to !libtool is stupid because it breaks too many things. sasl is a library that needs .la files for the plugins.
