[CM] CLM-on-Mac improvements

[bbattey@u.washington.edu]

*Something* in the new CLM build appears to be causing severe compile 
difficulties with one of my instruments (mac/mcl). It is a very fat (not phat, 
but fat) instrument, broken up into about 10 macro calls. Prior to this last 
update, it took 40-60 seconds to compile on my computer. With the new 
version, I'm not actually sure it can compile at all: I give up after 15 
minutes.

Specifically, CLM executes the MrC -shared_lib_export on -opt 
speed,unroll,unswitch (etc.) command, ToolServer launches... but 
ToolServer never succesfully completes its work.

At first I assumed this was a bug in my code that was not being trapped 
properly and causing an infinite loop in MrC. So I commented out all of my 
macro calls. Compile worked. I added in the macros one by one. The 
compile time kept expanding, exponentially it seems, with each addition. 
Until it exceeded 15 minutes...

At which time I gave up and compiled it with the old CLM.

I could send the instrument to someone if that would help, since I'm not 
sure where to go from here in trying to track down the problem.
