From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet

Hello,
First of all, thanks for all the work on Synchronet! I'm a former SysOp (I used
 to run a BBS during the 1990s), and with a Linux machine at hand, I'm slowly
beginning to set up my BBS "again".
(I have also begun writing a bash script modem frontend which -- with the help
of stty and socat -- hopefully should be able to transfer incoming modem
connections to the Telnet parts of Synchronet, which I believe is a missing
"part of the puzzle" at the moment?)
Now on to my problem:
I'm trying to build Synchronet 3.17b on a Debian 10 ("Buster" machine:
mkdir -p ~/src/sbbs317b
cd ~/src/sbbs317b
wget
'http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/install/GNUmakefile'
make install CVSTAG=sbbs317b NO_GTK=1 NO_X=1
...but I get compile errors regarding missing datatypes:

...and so on. Checking
~/src/sbbs317b/3rdp/src/mozjs/js-1.8.5/js/src/config.status shows that the
define "-DJS_HAVE_STDINT_H=1" is set, so it appears that it has found
<stdint.h>, however this does not seem to help.
Any ideas?
I tried replacing the bundled mozjs library by installing the libmozjs-60-0 and
 libmozjs-60-dev packages, and specifying JSINCLUDE=/usr/include/mozjs-60/js
JSLIB=libmozjs-60, but that made things worse in other aspects (smblib couldn't
 find the headers from "encode" and "hash", so it appears that this caused some
 other include path problems).
I have checked the prerequisites and I think I've got the ones required.
Perhaps mozjs 1.8.5 is simply "too old" for the up-to-date software in Debian
10?
I'm using gcc/g++ 8.3.0 (8.3.0-6), pkgconf 1.6.0 (1.6.0-1), make 4.2.1
(4.2.1-1.2), libc6-dev 2.28 (2.28-10).
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Bj├╢rn
