I switched to the SVN trunk, applied the changes you recommended. Ran 
./bootstrap again and then tried ./configure without success. Here's the 
new output

checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for JS_NewContext in -ljs... no
checking for JS_NewContext in -lmozjs... no
checking for JS_NewContext in -ljsapi... no
configure: error: Could not find the js library.

Is the Mozilla SpiderMonkey library installed?


I think the problem is still surfacing here:
checking for JS_NewContext in -ljs

It seems that /usr/lib64/libjs.so cannot be recognized as a valid 
shared-object by the linker.
