Indeed: I found that Benjamin first introduced libtestc++.a and the ranlib
invokation.

I think this is wrong: the toplevel Makefile has, in BASE_TARGET_EXPORTS,
RANLIB="$(RANLIB_FOR_TARGET)", so it seems we should check for RANLIB
instead of RANLIB_FOR_TARGET.

The other problem is that the fallback of : for RANLIB_FOR_TARGET doesn't
work with local_exec "$ranlibcommand", while using true is ok.  This should
be fixed in the toplevel configure.ac (NCN_STRICT_CHECK_TOOLS,
ACX_CHECK_INSTALLED_TARGET_TOOL).
