I complied ghostscript-9.18rc1 (with the patch for gximono.c)
in the same was as I had complied Ghostscript-9.16.
Regarding how I compiled it, see below.

On my SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 system (the only one I tested but
the issue does not look to be system specific) it fails as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# gs -r50 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=nullpage \
  /usr/share/ghostscript/9.18/examples/colorcir.ps | fold -s -w70

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I have default_gray.icc installed:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# rpm -qf /usr/share/ghostscript/9.18/iccprofiles/default_gray.icc
ghostscript-9.16pre18rc1-74.1.x86_64
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Before with Ghostscript 9.16 it was installed as
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.16/iccprofiles/default_gray.icc
so that there is no real change here (except the version number).


FYI:
My RPM package version is intentionally "9.16pre18rc1".
For the reason see my ghostscript.spec file
at the openSUSE Build Service link below.


Regarding how I compiled it, see in the openSUSE Build Service

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:jsmeix:branches:Printing/ghostscript/ghostscript.spec?expand=1

Basically I do:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
%define gs_font_path 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype:/usr/share/fonts/Type1:/usr/share/fonts/CID:/usr/share/fonts/URW
...
./configure --prefix=%{_prefix} \
             --bindir=%{_bindir} \
             --libdir=%{_libdir} \

             --mandir=%{_mandir} \
             --infodir=%{_infodir} \
             --with-fontpath=%{gs_font_path} \
