 Short update: It seems to be a local problem. I haven't figured out all 
 the details, but I know this so far:
 
 1. Building ghostscript inside pkgsrc fails. pkgsrc resides on an NFS 
 filesystem. It seems, gs_init.ps is not found, altough the search path 
 compiled into gs contains the right directory. truss shows, that this 
 path is not even tried.
 
 2. Building ghostscript inside a pkgsrc tree that resides on a local 
 filesystem (/tmp) succeeds!
 
 3. Building the same ghostscript with the same options outside pkgsrc, 
 and installing to the same NFS filesystem, succeeds.
 
 4. Building ghostscript inside pkgsrc with option 
 "--disable-compile-inits" succeeds!
 
 I assume there is some interaction between the file library that is 
 compiled into ghostscript by default, and our NFS. The library appears 
 in the searchpath as "%rom%lib/". But due to case 3., there must be some 
 additional ingredient provided by the pkgsrc framework, that I don't see.
 
 
 Is there a way to provide the additional configure flag in an automated 
 way? Adding this to mk.conf does not seem to work:
 
 CONFIGURE_ARGS.ghostscript += --disable-compile-inits
 
 I have added an additional option to the package:

 But as this is for a very special and limited case, even I wouldn't be 
 too happy to include it in pkgsrc.
