Hello! I have had a closer look at the mozjs package and it turns out that the package can be easily fixed on sparc64 by disabling the integrated just-in-time compiler, the same measure that already helped with pcre3.
The patch is rather simple and just involved patching the configure.in and its resulting configure script in js/src as described here [1] in a fix for Iceweasel (Iceweasel uses the same JavaScript engine). Furthermore, I have updated the symbols file for all architecture so that #669944 [2] is fixed as well. I'm just waiting for a friend who is currently writing a patch to fix the build on x32 which is a bit tricky since the source code does not really deal with a amd64 ABI with 32-bit pointers. We're making good progress on sparc64 now. Cheers, Adrian > [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596138 > [2] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=669944 -- .''`.
