I am NOT trying to run embedded JavaScript within Ruby. I am trying to use the standard Rails Asset Pipeline supporting external JavaScript files. This rake asset:precompile is failing. The fix is mentioned in the answer referring to a patch to ExecJS runtimes.rb module. It does not require installation of TheRubyRacer.
rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production --trace is failing
Environment: Ruby 2.0.0, Rails 4.0.3, Windows 8.1, PostreSQL 9.3.3, Devise 3.2.4, Rake 10.3.2, rspec-rails 3.0.1
My application seems to be working fine, as far as it goes. I am continuing to work on it, but decided to push it to Github and Heroku again before I make further changes. However, when I try to precompile my assets on my local system before I do that, it fails where it used to work fine. From the trace, it appears to me that it is failing in JavaScript, but I'm no expert in the precompile process. I eliminated my own JavaScript code and tried it, but it still fails. How can I fix this?
config/application.rb is:

The only file in assets/javascript/ is application.js and it is:
// This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.js, which will include all the files
// listed below.
//
// Any JavaScript/Coffee file within this directory, lib/assets/javascripts, vendor/assets/javascripts,
// or vendor/assets/javascripts of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
//
// It's not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it'll appear at the bottom of the
// compiled file.
//
// Read Sprockets README (https://github.com/sstephenson/sprockets#sprockets-directives) for details
// about supported directives.

//= require_tree .
For completeness in assets/stylesheets:
application.css.scss
/*
* This is a manifest file that'll automatically include all the stylesheets available in this directory
* and any sub-directories. You're free to add application-wide styles to this file and they'll appear at
