Is it your intention to build more than Ghostscript? The GhostPCL and
GhostXPS products really haven't had any testing as a) shared
libraries and b) using the system shared library dependencies. So both
are much more likely to fail than Ghostscript.

I really don't know what the problem might be, and I won't have time
to look at it for a few days, maybe a week - I'm travelling for the
rest of this week.

So please do open a bug, and make sure it gets assigned to me, so I
don't forget.

Parenthetically, there are some pointless options there, like
"--with-omni" *and* "--without-omni"? "--with-libpaper",
"--enable-fontconfig", "--enable-freetype", "--enable-openjpeg",
"--without-luratech", "--with-jbig2dec" and "--with-x" are all the
defaults.
