I understand that if you recompile a package with the same compiler and options, you will get the same binary files. Except for the hardcoded paths that seens to exist in the real base librarys from glib or the compilers in gcc. Maybe you can do this to track the changes in the .la files.
I really dont understand the real meaning of .la files, but as I already told, I had to change a file in the past to compile a package, and it worked. Oh! I remember now, my system uses a NVidia card and the closed source driver, and some programs (blender being one) require some libGL.la while others fail to compile if this file exist. I wonder if a good automake implementation does not need the .la files. Are you moving packages like this for any special reason? I mean, seens to require some knowledgment that would be very usefull for a package management system (an old project that I never had the time to study and implement). ;) Would you be so kind to report us your sucess?
