Hi all,

the ranlib utility (from binutil-2.15) needs a wrapper for the case that 
a non-root user installs a library read-only.

#!/bin/sh

test="test"
chmod="/bin/chmod"
ranlib="/usr/bin/ranlib"

eval "fname=\$$#"

if $test -w "$fname"; then
         $ranlib "$@"
else
         $chmod u+w "$fname"
         $ranlib "$@"
         $chmod u-w "$fname"
fi

Could someone please integrate this into pkgsrc? I don't know where and how.

The Solaris strip(1) utility also fails because files are installed 
read-only.
