Didn't work for me when I tried building libmozjs from source (same error as
reported in original post: configure: error: "libffi has not been ported to
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.")

But the 32-bit ARM instructions worked fine for 64-bit here.  Just in case the
friend decides to try sbbs again, here's the full log of commands I executed:

---
apt install build-essential perl zip git gdb libarchive-dev libncursesw5-dev
libnspr4-dev libmosquitto-dev libsystemd-dev libcap-dev xorg-dev libsdl2-dev
libgtk-3-dev libglade2-dev python3 python-is-python3 lrzsz gkermit

64.deb
