[arch-dev-public] cleaning up unneeded static libraries?

[Alexander Rødseth]

Hi,

Note that one of the two most popular Go compilers relies on static
compilation and .a files:

pacman -Ql go | grep \.a$ | wc -l
261

Go was created by some of the same people that created Plan9, so I
assume the choice of using static compilation is inspired by that:
