I would suggest continuing to run ranlib after install, but not

Won't you then get warning messages on Darwin every time someone tries
to use the installed library (since the symbol table timestamp will be
older than the file timestamp)?
It will not be a warning on darwin, it will be straight error as
Darwin's linker does not like the timestamp to be out of date at
all.
