This was fixed a month ago. Just clean your install.

I believe the problem is that he NEEDS the .la files for the gr-fcd compilation. So either the gr-fcd would have to be worked on to link a different way, or we would have to provide the .la files (and make sure they are correct).

Actually, gr-fcd can link against .so but apparently the autotools prefer .la if they are present.
I had issue with the cmake generated .la file a month ago and Josh suggested to disable generation of .la files, see

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!
