If you do change how this is implemented in the config* files, please
make sure that you still support cross compiling to Darwin. In that
case, the runtime libraries for the target would still run into this
issue,
because you'd be using the Darwin ranlib, even on a Linux build/host.

In fact we are already host specific as to what flags we use. On
Darwin we use -c, which we do not use on any other system. Maybe we
should remove AC_PROG_RANLIB from configure.ac, and add something to
config.host instead.
Except that probably this has to get into libtool somehow or
something. Hmmm.
