Can you give a link to that test suite?  Is it freely available?  No one 
has run it on SpiderMonkey and reported its results until you.

You would do better to use CVS and pull the FIREFOX_1_0_RELEASE tag of 
js/src, and then cvs up -AdP config editline in that directory.  I'm not 
sure when RC6b will happen, I'll try to get some help building it and 
writing its release notes.
