Similar problem here (ocaml 3.09.2, amd64, Linux).  Because the error is
intermittent, I never took the pain to look at it further.  All I remember is
the pattern of the error message:

   ranlib: './your_ocaml_library_here.a': No such file

and the fact that it is infrequent and seems to occur randomly.
