Works for me after pushing the change for the path a couple of days ago.

The size of your tarball is only a 1/3 of the size that it should be

what does your ghostscript.mk show? on mine it works:

PKG             := ghostscript
$(PKG)_IGNORE   :=
$(PKG)_VERSION  := 9.16
$(PKG)_CHECKSUM := cc06fbf8244b9e8d0694cee5bf3be5bdd444b888
$(PKG)_SUBDIR   := $(PKG)-$($(PKG)_VERSION)
$(PKG)_FILE     := $(PKG)-$($(PKG)_VERSION).tar.gz
$(PKG)_URL      := 
http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/old-gs-releases/$($(PKG)_FILE)
$(PKG)_DEPS     := jpeg lcms libpng tiff zlib

ls -l pkg/ghostscript-9.16.tar.gz
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jade jade 33623036 May  3 06:28 pkg/ghostscript-9.16.tar.gz

sha1sum pkg/ghostscript-9.16.tar.gz
cc06fbf8244b9e8d0694cee5bf3be5bdd444b888 pkg/ghostscript-9.16.tar.gz
