> ranlib libgcc.a

I am trying to recover from approximately the same problem.  It seems that
we neglected to recompile ranlib at the right time.  So far, I seem to be
having reasonable success with this script in place of /usr/bin/ranlib: 

	#!/bin/sh
	case "$1" in
	-*) exit 0 ;;
	esac
	ar r $1 __.SYMDEF
	MEMBERS=`ar t $1`
	ar q $1 $MEMBERS
