i think Peter's point is:
if mode(archive) == 444
if target == Darwin
Darwin ranlib will upgrade it to 644 anyway and succeed, and/or
use a temp file and rename(2)
else
ranlib isn't really needed anyway, so ignore the error
fi
else
ranlib should be used, and should succeed, but still, ignore errors
fi

Won't you then get warning messages on Darwin every time someone
tries
to use the installed library (since the symbol table timestamp
will be
older than the file timestamp)?
It will not be a warning on darwin, it will be straight error as
Darwin's linker does not like the timestamp to be out of date at
all.
