For those of you who don't read gnu.gcc.bug,  the previously reported
problem is an artifact of incorrect ANSI programming style in the
ghostscript code.  GCC follows the ansi spec in this case.  So it's
official:  you must declare the structures in a prototype before you
declare the prototype itself.  This should definitely be a fix for
ghostscript 1.4.
