It's possible to build SpiderMonkey without depending on NSPR with
--enable-posix-nspr-emulation, this uses the implementation in
js/src/vm/PosixNSPR.{h,cpp} However these days we only depend on NSPR for
memory mapped files in Wasm code (note that the PosixNSPR versions just
crash because this API, JS::DeserializeWasmModule, is only used in the
browser). We should either just remove the NSPR dependency completely or
allow using PosixNSPR on all platforms.

I filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1556646 for this.

Thanks,
Jan
