Using the minus sign is simpler to write in the Makefile -- but 'make'
will still report an error (and say that it's ignored), which tends to
confuse some users. From the CVS log for ssl/Makefile.ssl:
revision 1.46
date: 2001/03/09 14:01:42; author: bodo; state: Exp; lines: +1 -2
Instead of telling both 'make' and the user that ranlib
errors can be tolerated, hide the error from 'make'.
This gives shorter output both if ranlib fails and if
it works.
