.la, not .a - we already build with --disable-static, but libtool tries
to install libfoo.la files with metadata that's stored in the ELF objects
on most platforms now, and which causes libtool to do stupid things when
found if installed, like linking with the wrong -R flags.   Fortunately,
since libtool falls back to saner defaults for non-libtool libraries without
.la files, we just skip them to allow for that.
