I'm using js-ctypes to load and use binary (dll), so it's not a xpcom

anyway.

Then I'm not sure why you need the gecko sdk to build it.
Because we use gecko internals in the component. A bunch of nsI* classes.
You definitely should not be doing that. Preventing add-ons from
accessing Gecko internals was the main reason we removed support
for binary components in the first place.
n fact, it would be best for you to avoid using ctypes at all,
if you can possibly can. If you absolutely can't avoid it (i.e.,
you need it for some kind of IPC, or hardware access), please
don't use it for anything that requires running in the same
address space as Firefox. Even if that remains possible for the
foreseeable future (hopefully it won't), I can more or less
guarantee you it won't be accepted if you submit your add-on for
signing.
