If you don't need to have the libraries installed for a convenience

Similarly for libtool:

The answer from Mike is correct, they're static libraries that other
programs may link to if wanted.
How do you plan to use this library?
I am trying to build some program under Cygwin/X and it seemed that there is
some sort of problem with linking to one of the libraries (*.la) which were
made during the build process.
anyway after I added "--disable-shared" to configure, the build process went
O.K. and I didnt get no ld error.
I am still not sure if the problem is from Libtool or Cygwin/X (my guess is
Cygwin/X) , but for now I am quite satisfied with the static libraries as
is.
thank you all for your help !
I had a similar problem with 'libiberty' that it didn't provide shared
libraries, only static. You might want to have a look at the thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2007-08/msg00005.html
I haven't checked Ralf's response if it works, I just yanked out
libiberty effectively solving my problem. But it might still be relevant
for you:

Jason.
