Hi Dave,
I agree this is a PITA. We use CVS which has the same problem, and
we have quite a few libraries in .a format that we do not have the
source to. We have ended up using a script build phase that runs
ranlib.
I would file this as a bug - I feel there should be an option to
ignore the date on .a files (or automatically run ranlib as
required). The more people that request this the better!
Cheers,
Steve.

It appears that any time a developer gets it from the repository,
the tool chain complains that you need to run ranlib on it. This
works fine, but then the file is modified, and inevitably gets
checked back in. So the next developer updates, and now he has to
run ranlib. Etc.
Is there any way to break this cycle, short of remembering that
some changes aren't significant? Adding a script that runs ranlib
every time seems like overkill.
