No static archives for lcms2 in 3.18
It seems the *.a files in -dev disappeared in alpine 3.18.
I suspect it might have happen when switching to meson https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/commit/main/lcms2?h=3.18-stable&id=c97211938e8f245aba8e680a339ad8384ba30ce8.
If fixed i guess the -plugins package should have archive files also?
