here only a quick build failure report since 9.22-rc2
(it worked with 9.22-rc1) - I did not yet analyze it:

Now with 9.22-rc2 build fails with something like
(example excerpts from a build log - long lines wrapped):

Now type `make' to compile ijs

libtool: and run autoconf again.
Makefile:569: recipe for target 'ijs.lo' failed
make: *** [ijs.lo] Error 63
--------------------------------------------------------------

This is how I make ijs (and made it all the time in the past)
in ghostscript.spec:
--------------------------------------------------------------
# Configure and make libijs (that is not done regardless
# whether or not --with-ijs is used above):
pushd ijs
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=%{_prefix} \
             --bindir=%{_bindir} \
             --libdir=%{_libdir} \
             --datadir=%{_datadir} \
             --mandir=%{_mandir} \
             --infodir=%{_infodir} \
             --enable-shared \
             --disable-static
make
popd
--------------------------------------------------------------

For sources (e.g. ghostscript.spec) and full build logs got to

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jsmeix:branches:Printing/ghostscript

and there click on the "failed" buld results links.

Build only works with newest stuff like openSUSE_Tumbleweed
but fails for all others like openSUSE_Leap and SLE_12.

I wished I could "just provide" the newest Ghostscript
also for released stuff like openSUSE_Leap and SLE_12
so that suer whi need the newest Ghostscript could upgrade
via the openSUSE Build Service "Printing" project:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing
