The answers to this section of the checklist do not agree with the exported
interfaces table, and if answered correctly, would be "ARC review required".

If this is indeed a private library, then not having a 64-bit version
is acceptable, but delivering .a & .la files is not.   (If no one else
will link with them, why would they be needed?   Even if it's public,
delivering .la files is unacceptable as it causes programs built using
libtool to link incorrectly.   If it's private, why is it in /usr/lib?)
