The problem with that is that it turns off static libraries for the entire project including building libganglia.la which is a legitimate library. We need it to build the libganglia.la static library along with the module DSOs. Its just that the .a and .la static libraries that are produced along with the module DSOs, are meaningless. They don't hurt anything by being there, it would just be nice not to install them at all.
