There are a number of these unsightly warnings (not errors) building gcc on
MacOSX:
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(insn-peep.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(graphite-blocking.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(graphite-clast-to-gimple.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(graphite-dependences.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(graphite-interchange.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(graphite-poly.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(graphite-ppl.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(graphite-scop-detection.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(graphite-sese-to-poly.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(loop-doloop.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(vmsdbgout.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: libbackend.a(xcoffout.o) has no symbols
What I've done is at the end of each of them is put:
char quash_apple_ranlib_warning_foo;
Where "foo" is chosen from the file's non-static symbols.
I didn't see insn-peep.c, it is presumably generated, so I didn't fix it.
