is there a reason to install the static library?

Why did you move away from %optflags? What do we get from it?

I moved away from %optflags because I needed to add "-Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unused-but-set-variable" and I have no idea how to add that to the predefined %optflags. Actually, the RPM documentation is so abysmally bad that I have a hard time to figure out where to even define %optflags inside a spec file. But anyway, that isn't your fault. If you can tell me how to add these flags to %optflags, I'll be happy to do so.

The static library gets installed because there are some Chicken Scheme extensions - like "spock" - that need it during compilation.
