need help building PyXPCOM - which version of Mozilla does it build with?

Which version (date?) of Mozilla have you been able to build PyXPCOM 
against on Linux (Mandrake 9) using the integrated build process, not 
the stupid makefiles?

Ok, here's my details:

The eventual target platform for embedding gecko via PyXPCOM is Windows, 
so if anyone knows of a binary distribution of PyXPCOM, I'd be ecstatic.

Needless to say, being the cross-platform guy that I am, I'd like to 
also build PyXPCOM for Linux, esp. as we may move our target platform to 
  Linux and/or OSX, so I don't want to have to re-tool my XPCOM 
application for the platform changes and also because I do most of my 
development in Linux.

I'd prefer to use the latest and greatest version of Mozilla, but it 
appears that the nsOutputConsoleStream class has been depricated out of 
the latest CVS, I can either try to fix it (and post patches) or 
(preferred) I can go back to the version that others report having 
success with building PyXPCOM. (And perhaps, later work on the patches.)
