Description of problem:
This not a bug.

I just read in the ghostscript.spec that
you don't ship /usr/lib/libgs because it is big (??) and nobody
uses it.  Well... none it's true. Actually stripped version of
libgs is smaller than statically linked ghostscript and yes,
many tools actually use libgs.  One of it is ps viewer from TeX-Live
distribution.

I have added a patch to ghostscript.spec.  It results in 3.5MB
libgs and 4kB /usr/bin/gs

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghostscript-7.05

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
