Hey Roman,
I just saw this commit:

.la files generally should not be installed, that makes sense to me. This seems like a heavy hand to do a global deletion for something like this. The problem would be in the build system that is installing them, and should be fixed there. Then it'll be fixed wherever that library is used, not just in Pd-extended.
libtool is convinced that you need .la files. from their perspective it is probably correct.
if you can come up with a proper way to avoid installing .la files from within automake/libtool (without dumping automake/libtool), feel free to suggest fixes. else you will either have to live with those files or to delete them in some other way (e.g. with the one i proposed to roman, and which is currently in externals/Makefile)
probably it is a safer guess to only delete .la files if there is a matching .$(EXTENSION) file and/or a matching .so/.dll file.
nevertheless, i don't see any harm done now.
