Thanks. That makes sense to me.

The present state (now that
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1572364 has landed) is
that when built as part of libxul, SpiderMonkey can use Rust code
(jsrust_shared gets built) regardless of whether Cranelift is enabled.
However, when SpiderMonkey is built outside libxul, SpiderMonkey can
use Rust code (jsrust_shared gets built) only if Cranelift is enabled.
I've filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1573098 to
change that.

(The actual addition of non-Cranelift Rust code of interest to
jsrust_shared hasn't landed yet.)
