Thanks for the suggestion, Benjamin.  I tried this, but that approach 
seems to be built around the assumption that one is building inside a 
tree that includes the entire Mozilla source tree:

$ gmake -f Makefile.ref JS_THREADSAFE=1
cat: ../../dist/WINNT5.0_DBG.OBJ/nspr/Version: No such file or directory
cd fdlibm; gmake -f Makefile.ref all
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/d/usr/js-1.5-rc6/src/fdlibm'
cl -FoWINNT5.0_DBG.OBJ/ -c -DXP_UNIX /MD /Od /Z7  -D_X86_=1 -DXP_WIN 
-DXP_WIN32 -DWIN32 -D_WINDOWS -D_WIN32 /nologo /W3 
/FpWINNT5.0_DBG.OBJ/js.pch  -DDEBUG -DDEBUG_bkline -I.. 
-I../WINNT5.0_DBG.OBJ -DJSFILE  -D_IEEE_LIBM k_standard.c
gmake[1]: *** [WINNT5.0_DBG.OBJ/k_standard.obj] Error 255
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/d/usr/js-1.5-rc6/src/fdlibm'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

Did I miss some instructions for building SpiderMonkey independently of 
Mozilla (which is what js.mak appears to be intended for, but without a 
thread-safe version)?
