Thanks Erik and Robby.

I do have seamonkey installed.

I removed xulrunner and all went fine.

So, the problem seems to come from mozilla-js.pc shipped with xulrunner indicating a wrong path in its last line:
<--->
...
includedir=/usr/include/xulrunner-1.9.1.7
...
Cflags: -I${includedir}/stable -DXP_UNIX -DJS_THREADSAFE
<--->

Or may be (some of) the files in ${includedir}/unstable should be put in ${includedir}/stable instead?

Anyhow I this seems me to be a problem with xulrunner, not with libproxy.
