Well, mklibs should probably ignore .la files, as it ignores .so and.sh
and other such files. Not sure, but it dies saying that readelf can't
handle .la files, which seems logical since la files are plain text
files.
Attached is a patch, which allows me to build, but i am far from certain
this is the right thing to do.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
