Subject:   Broken ar and ranlib in -current and -stable

When doing a build with ar and ranlib versions from both -stable and -current,
I get:

cc -I../scnc  -c set_inn_conf.c
rm -f libscnc_news.a
ar vr libscnc_news.a set_inn_conf.o
ar: creating archive libscnc_news.a
a - set_inn_conf.o
ranlib libscnc_news.a
ranlib: libscnc_news.a: Inappropriate file type or format
*** Error code 1

Stop.

A ls -l looks strange:

 2 -rw-rw-r--  1 root  bin          1731 Nov  9 13:59 scnc_news.h
 1 -rw-rw-r--  1 root  bin           756 Nov 13 16:58 Makefile
16 -rw-rw-r--  1 root  bin         15594 Nov 14 17:48 set_inn_conf.c
 6 -rw-r--r--  1 root  4294967294   6128 Nov 18 17:04 set_inn_conf.o
 7 -rw-r--r--  1 root  4294967294   6196 Nov 18 17:04 libscnc_news.a

Could this be from the latest patches to fix the odd number of files >17 long
bugs?
