I recently tried building packages of kde-3.5.0 on FC3, during

to correct libattr.la I made a symlink in /lib. I didn't really like
this method but seems to have worked
I noticed for libacl-devel libacl.la has been removed by the spec
file. If I removed the rm line would this cause any issues
it sounds really broken that you static link to this lib. Shared
libraries are good. Shared libraries mean that if there's a security
hole in one of them, you don't need to replace the entire distribution!
(I still remember zlib from a few years ago ;-)
esp something as extended attributes sounds like semi-security sensitive
so I wonder why Fedora even ships the .a at all...
