            Bug ID: 15779
           Summary: wrong logic in description of ranlib's -D option
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.24 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils

correct ranlib -D documentation

The ranlib documentation describes both -D (deterministic mode) and -U
(non-deterministic mode) as follows:

"This is the default unless binutils was configured with
--enable-deterministic-archives."

Since they are each other's inverse both cannot be the default under the same
condition.

This looks like a copy-paste error.  The documentation for ar and objcopy imply
that -D is default if --enable-deterministic-archives, so this trivial patch
corrects the description of ranlib's -D option to match objcopy's.
