Package: libmozjs-24-0
Version:24.2.0-5.1+b2

Recent builds of libmozjs, including the latest 24.2.0-5.1+b2, fail to
run correctly on armhf architectures.
libmozjs is used by gnome-shell, and results in gnome-shell crashing.
Latest version working for me on armhf was 24.2.0-3

After investigating, I believe the issue stems from a change in
compiler version or compiler options and is specific to armhf.
Rebuilding the source package with gcc 6.3.0 had the same outcome as
the debian-built package - gnome-shell crashing in libmozjs; but after
rebuilding libmozjs source using gcc 4.9.2, gnome-shell started
normally.

I am using Debian testing/stretch, kernel 4.9 and libc6 2.24-9.
