Updated those machines to 9.1 and still the same build error. Am I the
only one seeing this?

I have a different 9-STABLE machine that is fine, but I cannot figure
out what is wrong on the two VMs where this problem occurrs.

The working system does:

The broken ones do:

when building the legacy compatibility shims. The only difference is
that ranlib uses the relative path in the working case and that then
works out fine.
