build issues on OSX

[Nathan Fain]

Are the objects included in libcalypso.a supposed to have symbol tables? 
If so, it appears on my system they are not getting built that way.

(recreated libcalypso.a generation step with some cmd flag changes)
$ ar vsru calypso/libcalypso.a calypso/arm.o calypso/clock.o calypso/dma.o
calypso/dsp.o calypso/du.o calypso/i2c.o calypso/irq.o calypso/rtc.o
calypso/spi.o calypso/tpu.o calypso/tsp.o calypso/keypad.o calypso/misc.o
calypso/timer.o calypso/backlight.o calypso/uart.o calypso/uwire.o

ranlib: warning for library: calypso/libcalypso.a the table of contents is
empty (no object file members in the library define global symbols)


The added 's' flag causes the warning and was not included in with the
common make for libcalypso.a.  I added it because the man page says
"Running `ar s' on an archive is equivalent to running `ranlib' on it." and
considering that the error from my previous mail suggested running ranlib,
its just a guess that this might relate.
