Bug#653051: FTBFS with libmozjs 9.0

[Michael Biebl]

Source: gjs
Version: 1.30.0-2
Severity: serious

gjs fails to build after the latest update of iceweasel from 8.0 → 9.0.
I tried updating gjs (patch attached) but I don't know enough of mozjs
and gjs to fix the remaining failure:

Mike, do you maybe have an idea how to fix this build failure?

Cheers,
Michael
