I need the patch below to make it with non-root target directory
---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Install into this non-root directory:
BuildRoot:      %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-build
...
make soinstall DESTDIR=%{buildroot}
---------------------------------------------------------------------
which fails without the patch below with this messages
(long lines may show wrappped here):

ln -s

I did not yet test the resulting Ghostscript 9.23rc1 because
currently I have too little time for Ghostscript...
