It appears config.status didn't run for js/src despite a moz.build file changing. Most interesting.
The problem is that MOZBUILD_BACKEND_CHECKED (a global flag used to determine whether moz.build rebuild scan and possibly rebuild has been performed) is defined by the root Makefile and exported to the environment under which js/src executes. js/src should get a "fresh" environment not polluted with this variable.

This should do it. I wish this could be done with make syntax instead of shell. However, SUBMAKE gets $(call)ed inside a recipe and thus its output is evaluated as shell commands, not make. It's ugly.

Switched to inline $(if) (I keep forgetting this exists).
