Yup.  I suggest you think of S5R2 as a system that doesn't require a
rebuild of the symbol table, because, in fact, it doesn't require it. 
S5R2 has something similar to "ranlib" built into "ar" itself, so the
symbol table is automatically rebuilt when you update the archive;
that's why it doesn't have a "ranlib" command.
