It looks like signtool was not being built by default in NSS 3.1 (it is
now). So I would recommend two things:
1. If you are using NSS 3.1, you should really be using NSS 3.1.1. It
contains an important bugfix. See the NSS main page at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/index.html
for details.
2. Once you have NSS 3.1.1, you will need the latest revision of the
signtool makefile. So you should
cd mozilla/security/nss/cmd/signtool
cvs up -r1.4 Makefile
and then you should be able to build signtool.
