preparing a mingw-llvm package

I think I may have found why I'm not getting any .dll.a and .la files for mingw-llvm.

     "the LLVM source code lacks the symbol export directives, [...]
     The autoconf build exploits a feature of MinGW's binutils
     that auto-exports all symbols, like in Linux."

[from the thread:  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/45357  ]


So is it acceptable to package mingw-llvm with the DLLs but without the .dll.a and
.la files?  The DLLs work fine with the EXEs in the package.

Thanks,
Eric
