Hi @tstuefe  Should i then wait for this code to be integrated and then rewrite the .a handling ? 
I mean this PR shall remain open then right ? 
@JoKern65 Are you even handling the .a handling case ? i would like this PR to stay open. Maybe i can wait for the design change that you are working on.
