1007788 - Disallow in-source builds of js/src

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Ian Stakenvicius]

Attachment: Disallow in-source builds for js/src , same as the main m-c tree

Mirror the main m-c tree and disallow in-source builds of js/src.  As per a recent quote on irc, 

<jorendorff>: in-tree builds are nothing but trouble

note that accepting this would allow resolution for bug 1006275 , since it would no longer apply.
