[Omake] Re: build on mac 10.3.9 fails

[Aleksey Nogin]

Ulf,

I am not very familiar with OS X; hopefully somebody else on the OMake
list would be able to help.

As for the build first removing the archive - note that the line right
after rm is "ar", which is creating the archive. The archive is first
deleted, so that ar can create a fresh one.

One thing to try would be to run "ranlib boot/clib.a" and then re-run
"gmake all".
