I think that this may occur from landing bug 738612 to m-c.

TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | check-sync-dirs.py | build file copies are not in sync

In general, the files in '/builds/slave/tb-c-cen-lnx/build/build' should
always be exact copies of originals in '/builds/slave/tb-c-cen-
lnx/build/mozilla/build'.  A change made to one should also be made to the
other.  See 'check-sync-dirs.py' for more details.

Yep, definitely that bug. I've just ported enough to fix the bustage:

https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/655ce139a246

We should port the rest of it though, which amounts to:

- Port the change that adds mail/config/mozconfigs/common file (but see bug 738612 comment 25 and onwards)
- Port the change that adds build/mozconfig.common.override

The recommended way to do this now is just to change the various common files etc. I think we have the main ones we need atm.
