UVMSC compilation failure on OSX

Hi,

UVMSC fails to compile of OSX with the error message below. The "macros" archive contains no symbols (just seems to be a macro definitions), so it shouldn't be compiled into an archive.

It happens because there is no source files ".cpp" when generating libmacros.la. You can work around by creating the dummy file (empty) source file and update the Makefile.
