Alright, good. Just making sure we didn't actually need the .la files. Which is good, since making them "correctly" (that is, identical to the output of autotools) could have been a real pain.
Thanks!

Ok, "this evening" has arrived with a sickening "thud", and I removed the ".la" files from my /usr/local/lib (well, /usr/local/lib64):
rm -f libgru*.la
rm -f libgnur*.la
Then re-ran the gr-fcd:
bootstrap; ./configure; make; sudo make install
Quadriumvirate, and it all went perfectly well.
So, I don't think we *need* the .la files, and they, as observed previously, get in the way. But them being there in some weird-arsed state
can certainly screw things up.

We do suggest you uninstall before updating, which would have removed these files. Now, with autotools still building the .la's, if you are going back and forth, that could be a problem. On that, a) we will be moving away from autotools in the next version and b) I hope most people would start and stay with a build structure until then.
Thanks for checking into this.
