Note that any software using libltdl will still require the .la files
and must thus opt-out of .la file deletion. ImageMagick is probably the
most common occurrence of this.

To avoid overlinking when keeping the .la files for such recipes, it can
be helpful to clear the dependency_libs field in the .la file.
