It's not ulimit in the build environment particularly. Although the
build environment might need ulimit permissions to perform the
setrlimit() tests.

It is a basic default of N=1024
  ... altered by ./configure --with-filedescriptors=N
  ... overridden on production by squid.conf max_filedescriptors (If,
and only if, setrlimit() RLIMIT_NOFILE is able to be built+used).
