I believe we took a policy decision sometime in the past not to ship any lib*.a static archives. I think this was PSARC/2002/117 (Solaris Process Model Unification) which removed these along with the statically linked binaries (/usr/bin/static IIRC). So I doubt you'll have any success with requesting we re-add them.

Does the compilation really need a .a file?

I installed OpenLDAP on 111a.

I am trying to compile cyrus-sasl but it fails to find the LDAP libraries, it 
is looking for ldap_initialize call in those libraries.

ad...@fans:/usr/lib$ strings libldap* |grep ldap_initialize
ad...@fans:/usr/lib$ pkg list SUNWopenldap
NAME (PUBLISHER)                              VERSION         STATE      UFIX
SUNWopenldap                                  2.4.11-0.111    installed  ----
ad...@fans:/usr/lib$

On another box where I compiled openldap, I see it in those libs:
r...@mx2:/usr/local/lib# strings libldap* |grep ldap_initialize
ldap_initialize
ldap_initialize
ldap_initialize
ldap_initialize
r...@mx2:/usr/local/lib#
It seems like the IPS packages don't have the libldap.a files. How can I 
request this be added?

Thanks
