So it’s not enough to just softlink ranlib, which is nothing more than alias to
libtool, and libtool sees it is invoked as ranlib, and fails to work as
"ranlib" when it’s powerpc64-unknown-darwin-ranlib

$ ls -l /usr/bin/ranlib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7 Jul  9  2014 /usr/bin/ranlib -> libtool

That’s what you need to use

sudo rm /usr/bin/powerpc64-unknown-darwin-ranlib
sudo cat << EOF > /usr/bin/powerpc64-unknown-darwin-ranlib
#!/bin/sh
exec ranlib \${1+"\$@"}
EOF
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/powerpc64-unknown-darwin-ranlib
