> This is a bug in libtool.m4, not in autoconf.  AC_PROG_RANLIB is not obsolete.
>  Libtool's internal macro _LT_CMD_OLD_ARCHIVE inlines the definition of
> AC_PROG_RANLIB, but there's no good reason for it to do this.  (Maybe a _very_
> long time ago AC_PROG_RANLIB didn't use AC_CHECK_TOOL?  If so, it would have
> been before the beginning of the VCS history in 2001, though.)
>
> If I manually change _LT_CMD_OLD_ARCHIVE to do AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_RANLIB])
> instead of what it does, then autoscan stops suggesting the addition of
> AC_PROG_RANLIB.

> I'll bounce this to the libtool maintainers.
