Hi,
while building src:iceweasel (don't laugh please, libmozjs-dev is needed
as build dependency by a *lot* of packages) on Debian/m68k, the first
FTBFS (of how many to come, I don't know) occurs due to non-portable
alignment assumptions.
On m68k, the basic alignment unit is 2, as is the struct padding size,
even for larger types such as int or pointers, i.e. no "natural" align.

At least jsapi.cpp now builds… as do some others.
Alternatively, you could add another data member to AutoCompartment
so it would become 48 bytes in size, and then use
void* bytes[12];
on m68k via the same ifdef.

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
