ranlib vs. libtool -static



[ I posted this on the xcode list a couple of days ago, but got no
  replies.  I thought maybe somebody here might know. ]


The ranlib/libtool manpage says I should prefer libtool -static over
ranlib.  Is there any technical reason for this?  Both seem to work
fine, but libtool -static gives a warning about .o files that have no
symbols, which is annoying when you have a zero-warnings policy.  Ranlib
doesn't give this warning, so I'm leaning towards using that despite
what the manpage says.
