Yes but this was news to me and is unusual. So this should be stated clearly on archlinux.org or at least the wikipedia article.
Please edit/update the pages you deem fit for this information in the Arch Wiki and/or Wikipedia.
Checked Debian and Fedora and was surprised that both don't bundle .a files. Must be not that unusual and I was wrong.
Not quite correct. Fedora and Debian do provide static libs in their -devel packages along with headers.
That makes sense and I had been wondering how I used to link statically on Debian. So this is a noteworthy differentiating feature after all then. Suggestions where in the wikipedia article to add the "disclaimer"?
