Hello,
it's just because for some program, some users prefer be independant from rtld for security reason.
And usually for other libs on arch the static lib is packaged in too ( libnet libssl libcrypto glibc etc..)

Since all static libs are now removed from libs that don't need them. Is this still a bug?
