I decided to update the JS sources, big mistake they fail to build using VC6. A short search on the Mozilla news server revealed this post:

Michael kindly reminded me that you must be using js.mak. We haven't updated that. We'd like to retire it, or else find a volunteer to maintain it (and whatever .mdp or other files are around from the old days).
