Description Robert Yang 2015-10-08 02:52:30 UTC 
For saving space and removing build path in .a files.
Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2016-02-18 16:00:16 UTC 
Less of a problem now we have disabled static libraries entirely in most cases.
Comment 2 Hongxu Jia 2016-02-26 03:04:28 UTC 
Currently in oe-core, only tcl, dtc and valgrind have buildpath issue in its .a files.
