Subject: patch to fix ranlib
Sender: owner-current@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

ranlib does not work for odd length extended names. I sent in
some mail with the patch a while ago but I have not heard anything.
could someone else check this and commit this patch.
You can test this by creating any odd length named object over 16chars
ie. obj_with_a_long_nam.o
ar cr test.a obj_with_a_long_nam.o
ranlib test.a will fail with inappropriate file type

apply this patch and things will work:
