RANLIB is not defined by default. This is easy to see.
[jfgs, .../hmc_mcp3/RPMS/i386] $ make -n -p | grep -i
"RANLIB"
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.
Stop.
Yet other standard defintions like AR are defined by
default.
[jfgs, .../hmc_mcp3/RPMS/i386] $ make -n -p | grep -i
"AR ="
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.
Stop.

echo ar = $(AR)
echo ranlib = $(RANLIB)
[jfgs, .../hmc/usr/src/linux] $ make -f foo.mk
echo ar = ar
ar = ar
echo ranlib =
ranlib =
