Details

Many people have different independent names for their SM shell builds. However, a recent change has caused configure to throw with an Object Directory Mismatch exception if the name of the created objdir for the shell does not match the objdir from the srcdir toplevel .mozconfig. This breaks the common workflow Expected Workflow: cd js/src mkdir obj-dbg cd obj-dbg ../configure [options]
FWIW: It's not just "I use a different obj dir for spidermonkey than for firefox", it's that I have many obj dirs for spidermonkey and its many various flavors of configure flags which result in very different builds, eg enabling the arm simulators.
I think it's a dupe of bug 1283052, even if the error message is not the same
