Using a recent (17 March) libtool snapshot on SunOS 4.1.4 with its
native tools, I'm finding that ranlib doesn't seem to be run when
building a static library. The relevant part of the generated libtool
script comes out as,
# Commands used to build and install an old-style archive.
RANLIB="ranlib"
old_archive_cmds="\$AR cru \$oldlib\$oldobjs\$old_deplibs"
old_postinstall_cmds="chmod 644 \$oldlib"
old_postuninstall_cmds=""
I wasn't able to find in ltconfig where ranlib would be inserted into
old_archive_cmds, and I wonder where that should happen, or if ranlib
comes in by some other mechanism.
