Rebuilding LO freezes on macOS

Julien, Shinnok, Alex,

thanks for your feedback. I'm trying to raise number of openable file descriptors by means of 
ulimit first. Default seems to be 256 for OS X 10.11. Indeed issue probably takes place during 
population of "instdir". "Library/libscfiltlo.dylib" is referenced in make's last console output 
only.

I'll give feedback upon testing.

brgds

Thorsten
