ranlib is basically never required on a modern system.  It is really
only needed if the archive is built with the S option to ar.

So I think the best way to address this is to not run ranlib. 

If you consider Darwin "modern", then that statement is not correct
as moving/copying an archive on darwin, requires ranlib to be run.
