Though not the original issue, but a cross-build problem resurfaces with
the latest version of Ghostscript, 10.00.0.
It is fixed upstream, two lines in 'configure.ac', but we are now late
in the freeze and Ghostscript is a key package, which means we need an
approved unblock request to get the changes in.
Helmut, do you have an opinion on the importance of this issue?
