I am still investigating this -- getting Ada bootstrapped on ppc has
taken some time...
not objecting to the patch - but I think we can go further....
... as commented in the PR, I would say that we can likely remove the
special casing of ranlib completely for all Darwin (some more testing
on ppc/ada still under way). So far OK on ppc/darwin8....x86_64/
darwin10 (incl. ada on *86*)
As things stand, darwin < 8 will not bootstrap GCC 4.6 or trunk with
its native toolset; it requires the use of odcctools or similar to
make use of newer versions of ld. (thus, support of ancient darwin
is conditional on use of a toolset from at least darwin 8 era).
