Is this use case still valid? Is this warning useful at all? I prefer the linker to fail if it cannot find symbols to link to, not if it doesn't like the timestamp of the library I am linking to.

Seconded, whole heartedly. This is one of my biggest pet peeves about the darwin toolchain. Also, it would be nice if ar could be made to update the table of contents like it does on other platforms. It is an amazing pain to port software to darwin which uses static libraries. Since darwin is the only system in common use that I know of which makes this complaint, nobody bothers with ranlib when developing on linux, and then things expload on darwin.
