To explore the E4X (ECMAScript for XML) extensions to JavaScript I 
sometimes pull mozilla/js via CVS and build js.exe, using Cygwin make 
tool with MS compiler and linker on Windows XP, simply by running
   make -f Makefile.ref
That used to work for me but today I pulled the source and tried to 
build but linking of js.exe fails, with the error messages
   js.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
'_js_GetScriptLineExtent', referenced in function '_GetSLX'
   WINNT5.1_DBG.OBJ/js.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved external 
reference

Could anyone building on Windows check whether he can build js.exe 
successfully so that I know whether I did something wrong here or 
whether there is something wrong with the source or the makefile I 
pulled via CVS?

This is crossposted to n.p.mozilla.jseng and n.p.mozilla.builds with 
followup-to jseng.

I use link.exe version 7.10.3077 and cl.exe version 13.10.3077.
