Description

I am building package for ALT Linux distro, and there is raised a question:

What is purpose of `libbcc-loader-static.a`? Which does not have pairing `lib.so`.

Research direction

Start by tracing where libbcc-loader-static.a is produced and used in the BCC build and packaging flow. Check whether it is intended for static linking, then document its purpose and why no paired shared library exists. Done means the package maintainer has a clear, technically supported explanation.
