Cross compilation and RANLIB_TEST

[Axel Thimm]

In Makefile.in there are two sets of RANLIB variables, one for the host and
one for the target system. RANLIB_TEST should only test for the host ranlib,
but actually fails to find ranlib (unless RANLIB has been specified by the
user). Are my assumptions right? Then here is a tiny patch for today's
sources:
