Well, all I know is that if you are adding a convenience archive as a dependency, then *it is by design* that all dependencies of that convenience archive are added, too. I've tried to explain this before (may have been to a different bug report, though): Convenience archives are merely objects to be incorporated into a bigger whole. It makes no sense to speak of indirection here, because there is none, from the point of a shared library. So if you think there are too many libraries added, then that means that the creation of the convenience archive simply lists too many dependencies. It may help to split up the convenience archive into smaller convenience archives, where the smaller parts each list a strict subset of dependencies themselves. But to be honest, I haven't had the time nor do I have the knowledge about GNOME libraries to see what should be done in this particular case. Hope that helps.
