I'll have to simplify them, still have some cruft like which toolkit to use.

Add a line such as
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=C:/work/comm-esr38/obj-sm
to your mozconfig file above the configure options. Note that relative 
paths are no longer supported according to a post in one of the 
newsgroups and I had all kinds of problems to do with the case with a 
relative path starting with 31ESR

It's quicker then deleting your obj dir and the build is a bit quicker 
as well as the directory structure is preserved.
