Very long macOS build times

It looks like the build step gets stuck between downloading dependencies and compiling them. The compile times themselves look normal.

The long macOS build times seem to be caused by the fact that I have a build script. The build finishes in ~10min without build.rs but takes up to several hours with an empty build script. Since there doesn't seem to be a way of defining a build script only for specific targets jet (rust-lang/cargo#4932), I'm kind of stuck with this issue.

To finally have reasonable macOS build times I am now deleting build.rs in a pre-build step of the macOS job (see 6ad9e81). Thanks, @mockersf for the idea.
