Update of sr #108503 (project autoconf):
Status: None => Invalid
Open/Closed: Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:
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.
