My guess is that mozjs-52 is the culprit. My reasoning is
that only two tarballs show this problem: gjs and gnome-shell.
And those two programs are the only ones linked to mozjs.

My mozjs is the official one from firefox-52.3.0esr
I guess most distros have their own patched ones.
So my question now:
Which one is officially approved by the gnome-developpers?

This one: https://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/tarballs-needing-help/mozjs/

If you want to build from a git repository, use this: https://github.com/ptomato/mozjs

There is no official mozjs 52 release yet from Mozilla. The one included in the Firefox source code has, as you have noticed, some problems when used as a stand alone library.

If in doubt, always use the source indicated in jhbuild.
