Could you please rework your patch to use the latest Git version of
ghostscript? It has commit
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=c3c4bf022a631be939ebb4bf6f59e41514cb1e48
which simplifies things a lot:

 - No need to build host-ghostscript
 - No need for hardcoded architecture headers

Thanks!

Thomas
