I'd prefer that too.
And to keep Craig happy for LSB support, if PCRE isn't on it, we should ensure
that the qtsupport always builds the libraries it needs as static and
privately installs them for Qt only. We'll need then to tweak Qt's build
system -- I'm not volunteering! -- to do a whole-archive linkage.
That is when you link a static library into a dynamic library by importing all
the .o files into it. The static library must have been built with -fPIC and is
then known as "convenience library".
Once "conveniently linked", the .a files can be removed. They should not get
deployed on devices.
