Attachment: Avoid mac builds being considered as cross compiled by jemalloc configure

Essentially, this reverts the part of bug 674647 that touched build/macosx/universal/mozconfig.common.
The fundamental problem is that the target doesn't match the host (x86_64-apple-darwin10 vs. x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0) and jemalloc3 configure fails because it believes the setup is a cross compile, while the main configure doesn't consider it so, and thus doesn't call the jemalloc3 configure with some extra info that makes it work when cross compiling.
Besides the jemalloc3 problem, it's better to avoid autoconf considering a build a cross compile when it's not one.

Configure triplets are super annoying.
