Bug 1262241 is pretty high priority for developers, IMO. The way things
work today is that js/src - specifically Interpreter.cpp - is stacked up
behind a very long line of dependencies and its 2+ minute compilation often
becomes a long pole in the compile tier. Unfortunately, there doesn't
appear much we can do to make the compilation itself shorter.

I tried reordering dependencies in the auto-generated .mk files, but I
don't think that worked consistently. Someone may need to dive into GNU
make's source code to see how it schedules targets to see if we can hack
things to make it prioritize a specific target.

Is anyone willing to volunteer to spend a few hours to investigate this
issue?
