Interesting. There's definitely some funky behavior in Apple's ranlib.
While testing this, I noted that sometimes it will produce a timestamp
that seems to be max-of-the-input-timestamps (truncated to seconds),
which can be much older than current time. Other times it will produce
current time (truncated to seconds). No idea what's causing this
difference in behavior.
