Yes, the best approach was already suggested: do a single ranlib command
in the superior makefile, after all the subdirectories have completed.
Best is to also use a timestamp file to control when ranlib must be
performed:
libxxx.a:
(whatever rules...)
stamp-libxxx.a: libxxx.a
$(RANLIB) $?
touch $@
all: stamp-libxxx.a
