today, i saw this on a good 'ole 1.2.9 box, with gcc v2.5.8 and good
'ole aout libc (ELF - shiver ;-)
anyway, it seems, the ranlib command is buggy (did i say good 'ole
times ?).
removing the ranlib commands from tcpip/Makefile and snmp/Makefile and
adding one ranlib line to the Makefile just before linking scotty
seems to help.
another successful try was to rebuild the libscotty.a (well, after
getting the error), by hand:
mkdir xx ; cd xx ; ar xv ../libscotty.a
rm ../libscotty.a ; ar cru ../libscotty.a *.o
cd .. ; ranlib libscotty.a
and make again.
