The 64-bit compiler seems to be installed from the SDK. If possible I'd like
to target from XP 64 on up as far as compatibility, but I'd settle for
having it run on my workstation only which is Win7 64.

Why do you want to build a 64-bit version? The 32-bit version will run even on 64-bit versions of windows, and is much more common in general. I recommend starting out building a 32-bit version and condider the 64-bit version an advanced topic that is much more likely to break.

I've hacked the path so when I type cl I get the right one:

This shouldn't be necessary if you're using start-msvc8-x64...

checking whether the C compiler (cl ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
creat
e executables.
make: *** [../../nsprpub/WINNT6.1_64_OPT.OBJ/config.status] Error 1

This might be an intermittent problem we've been seeing which is unrelated to the compiler (failure to remove a file which is in use), but you really need to check config.log to see what the actual failure was.
