Dunno. 

The Darwin manual pages claim that their different behavior is superior, 
and so changing it globally seemed like it might somehow make the world 
worse on Darwin.  Also, I don't think we actually *use* RANLIB anywhere 
else.  Also, it seemed like we have a FOO and FOO_FLAGS convention in 
use throughout the Makefile.

But, all that said, I really don't have a strong feeling either way; I 
just wanted the compiler to build. :-)
