Bug#574833: libmozjs.so: missing symbols js_[AXY]

[Darren Salt]

Package: libmozjs2d
Version: 1.9.1.8-5
Severity: important

I tried building gxine against libmozjs-dev 1.9.2-0preview1. It FTBFS at link
time, as follows:

script_engine.o: In function `JS_ISSPACE':
/usr/include/mozjs/jsstr.h:741: undefined reference to `js_X'
/usr/include/mozjs/jsstr.h:741: undefined reference to `js_Y'
/usr/include/mozjs/jsstr.h:741: undefined reference to `js_A'

Building against 1.9.1.8-5 works fine (which is why this bug is not of an RC
severity).

However, use of JS_CCODE, JS_ISSPACE and a few other macros will trigger this
failure in both versions since js_A, js_X and js_Y are declared as extern in
<mozjs/jsstr.h> but are not exported by the library.
