You should be able to fetch the src.rpm and rebuild that one, adding the
.la files to the package.
I did notice while checking /usr/lib64 that there are a few
examples in
fc27
ls *.la
libguile-gnome-gobject-2.la libQt5GlxSupport.la
libgwrap-core-runtime.la libQt5InputSupport.la
libgwrap-guile-runtime.la libQt5KmsSupport.la
libQt5AccessibilitySupport.la libQt5LinuxAccessibilitySupport.la
libQt5Bootstrap.la libQt5OpenGLExtensions.la
libQt5DeviceDiscoverySupport.la libQt5PlatformCompositorSupport.la
libQt5EglSupport.la libQt5ServiceSupport.la
libQt5EventDispatcherSupport.la libQt5ThemeSupport.la
libQt5FbSupport.la libQt5UiTools.la
libQt5FontDatabaseSupport.la
There is a packaging policy about not including .la files, but there may
be exceptions, such as software using a libtool based runtime linker that
needs those .la files. Sometimes package reviewers and/or packagers make
mistakes. If the corresponding package spec files don't tell why these
.la files are included, opening bugzilla tickets about these would be the
thing to do.
