[issue37916] distutils: allow overriding of the RANLIB command on macOS (darwin)

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower  added the comment:

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being 
closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered 
for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and 
reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should 
be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools

Thank you for the PR. I did a quick look at it and added some comments to the 
PR including wondering whether the root cause of the problematic behavior is 
elsewhere in Distutils.

Isuru Fernando  added the comment:

This is an issue even without cross-compilations as there is an environment 
variable for the archiver and therefore the archiver and ranlib can be from 2 
different toolchains and leads to error. Ran into this issue in python 3.8 on 
macOS with an lto build

[issue37916] distutils: allow overriding of the RANLIB command on macOS (darwin)

[Jakub Piotr Cłapa]

New submission from Jakub Piotr Cłapa :

On a macOS hosts the system ranlib does not understand ELF
files so using the "ranlib" command causes errors during cross-compilations.

The simplest way to fix it is to pass the RANLIB parameter provided to setup.py 
through to the distutils compiler machinery. This is analogous to the way the 
C/C++ cross-compiler is configured.

This change (in a GitHub PR) was required to proceed with crosscompiling numpy. 
It should help with other packages too (if they use distutils and need ranlib).
