Hmm, so what is in the .a file? If it is not needed for anything, maybe drop it and make the -devel package noarch?
I'm not really expert of C, but here are an excerpt from the README: """ Although Dragonbox is intended for float-to-string conversion routines, the actual string generation is not officially a part of the algorithm. Dragonbox just outputs two integers (the decimal significand/exponent) that can be consumed by a string generation procedure. The header file include/dragonbox/dragonbox.h includes everything needed for this (it is header-only). Nevertheless, a string generation procedure is included in the library. There are two additional files needed for that: include/dragonbox/dragonbox_to_chars.h and source/dragonbox_to_chars.cpp. """
If you think it isn't worth to distribute the .a file, the instructions say I can use '-DDRAGONBOX_INSTALL_TO_CHARS=OFF' to disable building the library. I'll have to check if LibreOffice build just requires the headers, though, since this is the only reason to package dragonbox.
