+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #780835 +++

Mac universal builds sometime fail with errors like this:
/builds/slave/m-in-osx64/build/build/macosx/universal/unify: copyIfIdentical: files differ:
  obj-firefox/i386/dist/test-package-stage/mochitest/extensions/specialpowers/chrome.manifest,
  obj-firefox/x86_64/dist/test-package-stage/mochitest/extensions/specialpowers/chrome.manifest

Attachment: The fix

Simple port of bug 780835 which should get rid of a lot of the random red we've been seeing on the OS X Opt builders.

The fix

[Triage Comment]
I just saw this on beta (17), so rather than risk hitting this on the branch that will become ESR, we'll take this easy fix that resolves the issue.
