No description provided.
OBJ_SUFFIX is modified during the profile-generation phase to be i_o instead of o/obj. _OBJ_SUFFIX is the unmodified value. We don't actually do PGO for host objects, so we don't need to build the objects with a different suffix.
The build system has skipped creating target static libraries for very long, except in very specific cases. We can actually do the same for host static libraries, for which we don't even need the escape hatch to still allow to create static libraries. Depends on D15171
Now that we're not even building host static libraries, we don't need variables for the tools used to build them. Ironically, we weren't even running HOST_RANLIB. Depends on D15172
