Are you running 'make install' as a different user than the user who 
did the build?  If so, the PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or the ability to 
execute the binary may be different.  Check the PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, 
and the permission bits on the executable.  If this 'ranlib' is a 
script rather than a true binary (not uncommon for transplanted 
cross-tools), then check its first line to see if the shell it 
requests is valid and allows execution by that user.

Lastly, the toolchain binaries might be a different architecture than 
the native architecture for your machine.  For example, they might be 
i386 and/or x86-64.  If the user id, PATH, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, 
changes, perhaps this is causing binaries not to be runnable any more. 
I have seen cases before where binaries for a different architecture 
were treated as if they were not programs at all until the framework 
for the other architecture was installed on the system.
