Interesting. I suspect this is related to the discussions on the
Arch mailing list about static libs.

We absolutely do need the static libs to be included in the generated
packages. Ghc 7.6 uses static linking by default and thus all our
tool packages rely on static libs in order to build properly. It
could of course be changed but it'd require a change to cblrepo to
generate PKGBUILDs that uses `depends` rather than `makedepends`.
