Steps to reproduce:

When configuring standalone SpiderMonkey with --enable-posix-nspr-emulation, it should have no dependency on NSPR. However, it requires NSPR in its pkg-config file.


Actual results:

Building any programs that use pkg-config to link to SpiderMonkey will fail if NSPR is not installed.


Expected results:

NSPR should not be necessary.
Here's a patch that worked for me.

You may want to add a ifdef in js.pc.in so that the Requires.private line doesn't appear at all in that case.

The pkg-config file should not require NSPR if compiled with
--enable-posix-nspr-emulation.
There's no ifdef in configure substitution, but this ought to do the trick.

You're removing the line in the !MOZ_SYSTEM_NSPR case.

Looks like the Windows failure is a known intermittent build issue, bug 1318172, so I'm assuming this is OK.

Remove unnecessary NSPR dependency

[Approval Request Comment]
If this is not a sec:{high,crit} bug, please state case for ESR consideration: Fixes a dependency issue for SpiderMonkey embedders that would otherwise cause them to have an unnecessary dependency when compiling and packaging SpiderMonkey.
User impact if declined: None to Firefox users, but Linux distributions will have to patch out the dependency
Fix Landed on Version: 57
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): Negligible risk, as to my knowledge the pkg-config file isn't used in the Firefox build process.
String or UUID changes made by this patch: None

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/ESR_Landing_Process for more info.
