Thank you very much Han-Wen.

That is almost identical to the spec I hacked first try, till I found
that it clashed with the libs provided by
ghostscript-8.15.1-3.1.i386.rpm.

However, it seems to me that you also need to hack the spec file with
ghostscript-8.15.1-3.1.src.rpm to remove the libs from
ghostscript-8.15.1-3.1.i386.rpm.   Did you hack the spec file from
ghostscript-8.15x.src.rpm?
