Most likely, yes… you can go a bit deeper about them (for instance
PulseAudio can load its plugins with libltdl even if the .la files are
not around, and the author _always_ recommended removing them), but
that's probably something we don't have to care about so much as it is.

For what concerns the list I provided, that's just the output of the
tinderbox in the case of hamlib, it was _Hamlib.la that triggered it, it
is installed in the Python tree and Python does not use .la files.
