Necessary for cross compiling, as using the native ranlib causes problems when cross compiling between systems using GNU and BSD style ar archives.

For BSD the format of __.SYMDEF (at begin of archive) is:

First length of ranlib structures (8 bytes)
Then pairs of string table offset and offset from begin of archive to start of archive file containing symbol (each pair 8 bytes total)
Finally length of string table (8 bytes)
