Hi...

	I'm trying to get binutils-2.6 installed under FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE,
and have hit a fairly substantial problem.  What ranlib in the stock
FreeBSD distribution sees as a library, ranlib in binutils comes up
as an error:

/usr/local/src/work/binutils-2.6/install.sh -c -m 644 libiberty.a /usr/local/lib/libiberty.a.n
( cd /usr/local/lib ; ranlib /usr/local/lib/libiberty.a.n )
mv -f /usr/local/lib/libiberty.a.n /usr/local/lib/libiberty.a
/usr/local/src/work/binutils-2.6/install.sh -c -m 644 libopcodes.a /usr/local/lib/libopcodes.a
ranlib /usr/local/lib/libopcodes.a
/usr/local/src/work/binutils-2.6/install.sh -c -m 644 libiberty.a /usr/local/lib/libiberty.a.n
( cd /usr/local/lib ; /usr/local/src/work/binutils-2.6/binutils/ranlib /usr/local/lib/libiberty.a.n )
/usr/local/src/work/binutils-2.6/binutils/ranlib: /usr/local/lib/libiberty.a.n is not an archive
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

hub# ls -l binutils/ranlib `which ranlib`
-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin   bin      16384 Nov 16 04:54 /usr/bin/ranlib
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1052330 Dec 24 19:43 binutils/ranlib

	There is a tremendous difference in sizes between the two,
with the strip'd version of ranlib being 10x the size of the one
that comes with the system.

	Since I do not even know where to begin on debugging this, what
I'm looking for is either a place to start, or pointers to patches
for this.

Thanks...
