           Product: Ghostscript
           Version: 8.71
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

In 8.71 release makefile of shared unix version was changed:

$ diff unix-dll.ma unix-dll.mak
13c13
< # $Id: unix-dll.mak 9085 2008-09-13 20:22:25Z giles $
---
> # $Id: unix-dll.mak 10180 2009-10-19 20:24:53Z giles $
[...]
82c82,83
<       $(GLCC) -g -o $(GSSOC_XE) $(PSSRC)dxmainc.c -L$(BINDIR) -l$(GS)
---
>       $(GLCC) -g -o $(GSSOC_XE) $(PSSRC)dxmainc.c \
>       $(LDFLAGS) -L$(BINDIR) -l$(GS)
86c87
<       -L$(BINDIR) -l$(GS) $(SOC_LIBS)
---
>       $(LDFLAGS) -L$(BINDIR) -l$(GS) $(SOC_LIBS)
[...]

added LDFLAGS causes that gsc and gsx compiles as a SHARED OBJECT, not a
EXECUTABLE!

The fix is easy -- revert this two changes.
