The proper fix is to have a shell script phase that makes a copy of the
original .a and runs ranlib on the copy; then link your target against
the copy instead of the original.  Set the script phase's input and
output files correctly, and the script will only run once, or whenever a
new version of the .a comes down from cvs.  There's no danger of
accidentally checking in a modified .a file this way.

Works perfectly for me, though the amount of work to set it up can be
significant if you have lots of .a files.
