Cite, please?  Given that around 35% of our libtool-using ports  
already installed .la files prior to this change, as well as  
extensive use of them in Linux and NetBSD's pkgsrc (both of which run  
on ELF-based systems, last time I checked), I'm sure any such  
critical problems would have been found by now.

Again, please cite, particularly given the capability to cross-build  
pkgsrc.
