Bug#1125777: libmozjs-140-0: Latest binNMU makes gnome-shell crash on arm64

Thank you NoisyCoil,

I don't really know how to compile gjs, what I learned before is these
steps, which I don't know if they are valid here or not. I am using
Forky repo in my system:
$ sudo apt build-dep gjs
$ apt source gjs
$ cd gjs-1.86.0
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc

I tried that, but it led to error about dependencies. What is the best
and easy way to do so?

Regards,
