I was criticised the the last time I offered my workaround but here
goes again because it actually works.

It is not so much the la files that are a problem but libtool's use
of them.  My strategy is one of living with libtool rather than
avoiding or fighting it.


Write a shell script (or whatever you like) and name it cc and/or CC.
Place it on the path in front of real compiler.  Make the script
dismantle the compiler args, reassemble in a sane order, exclude
and add anything you want and call the real compiler with your own
new arg list.
