Indeed, the latter was true for the GSL and the HDF5 libraries, and
symlinking

/usr/lib/libgsl.a -> /usr/lib/libgsl.dll.a
/usr/lib/libgslcblas.a -> /usr/lib/libgslcblas.dll.a
/usr/lib/libhdf5.a -> /usr/lib/libhdf5.dll.a

solved the problem.

Why is this not done in the gsl and hdf5 packages? Other packages might
also be affected.

/usr/lib/libhdf5.dll.a is the dynamic library
so the workaround is a contradiction of your target
" Linking to static libraries"

Oh.. So it would seem that static libraries have been dropped from the
GSL and HDF5 packages, although I didn't find any mention of it in the
GSL update announcements at least..


static are basically dropped from all the packages:
