[Bug c++/13509] New: Build fails because path of ranlib is hardcoded in gcc/Makefile.in

[gcc-bugzilla-spam at pgp-keys dot net]

My brand new ranlib (binutils 2.14) is installed in /usr/local/,
but in gcc/Makefile.in (and resulting Makefile) the path is hardcoded to
[ -f /usr/bin/ranlib -o -f /bin/ranlib ] ( line 241 )

Makefile tries to compensate by trying to do what ranlib does, but fails.

Note: by default binutils is compiled and installed to /usr/local/

if the machine has 'which', i would try a `which ranlib` when setting 
RANLIB_FOR_TARGET instead of `echo ranlib` (so -f $(RANLIB_FOR_TARGET) would 
work in line 239 of gcc/Makefile.in)
