System V never supported "ranlib", so it's not a question of "no longer".
However, it does provide the exact same functionality; it just stuffs it
directly into "ar", and calls the symbol table "" rather than "__.SYMDEF".
As such, the same thing happens to that code as happens in V7/BSD systems
when you use "ranlib".
