    <para><command>patch -Np1 -i ../js185-&spidermonkey-version;-DESTDIR-1.patch</command>:
    If <application>SpiderMonkey</application> is installed in a DESTDIR, this patch fixes
    the symlinks for <filename>libmozjs185.so</filename> so that they do not point to the
    <emphasis>build</emphasis> tree.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-threadsafe</parameter>: This switch enables support
    for multiple threads.</para>

    <para><parameter>--with-system-nspr</parameter>: This parameter forces the
    package to link to the system version of <application>nspr</application>
    instead of using its included, and now old, version.</para>
