Details - When using the SDK on x86_64 and building grub (e.g. for squashfs images), the host-compile phase ends with the following error:

/home/user/Build/openwrt/sdk/lede-sdk--x86-64_gcc-5.3.0_glibc-2.22.Linux-x86_64/staging_dir/host/lib/liblzma.a: error adding symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one

manually running ranlib from host on liblzma allows the build to succeed.

>From the logs it appears ranlib is never run on liblzma by the grub2 build process.

ranlib is run by tools/xz compile but this doesn't seem to carry over to the SDK staging dir.

Perhaps this is a relocation issue? i.e. does ranlib need to be re-run in the SDK because the path has changed?
