I talked about Fedora/RHEL, but Debian has mozilla-dev package. It means
the Debian people hasn't problem build elinks with JS support.

official mozilla libjs (+ RPMS):
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/

-- you can try install it and rebuild Fedora elinks scr.rpm.

Debian (mozilla-dev or libnspr):
ftp://ftp.debian.cz/debian/pool/main/m/mozilla/
