Building .NET using mono on s390x/ppc64le includes static mono components

omajid commented 11 months ago

Description

When we build the .NET 8 VMR with the mono runtime, we get a number of static libraries named libmono-component-*. Are the necessary/useful on ppc64le/s390x? Should they be filtered out?

/usr/lib64/dotnet/packs/Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.centos.9-ppc64le/8.0.0-rc.1.23419.4/runtimes/centos.9-ppc64le/native/libmono-component-hot_reload-static.a

These libraries are used for either building statically linked apps on ios/android/wasm, but they can also be used for embedding the runtime on other platforms.
