Very strange given that Boost.Build explicitly disables ranlib when 
running in IRIX. Could you send me the output of "bjam -v", specifically 
I would like to know what the "OS=<os name>" part says.

Regardless you can force the disabling of ranlib directly on the command 
line by adding this option: -sRANLIB=""
