Bug#873778: mozjs52: FTBFS: Failed to test XUL condition

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: mozjs52
Version: 52.3.1-3
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Builds of mozjs52 for several platforms failed with similar errors, as
detailed at
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=mozjs52&ver=52.3.1-3 and
excerpted below.

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
