Library files are not the problem, deploying an SDK as precompiled binary blobs is ;)

(I bet that .a/.lib files were originally never really meant for software distribution, but only as intermediate file format between a compiler and linker, both running as part of the same build process)

Yeah, but when the product is an SDK, and customers develop on top of it (using their own toolchains) there isn't a lot left for me to play with.

SDK could ship the source, lol, stop kneecapping your consumers.
