In case it isn't already clear, the output of 'gs -h' from the older 
version (ghostscript-7.05-32.1.12) ends with:

...
Search path:
    . : /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib : /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/vflib :
    /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts : /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript :
    /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 : /usr/share/fonts/default/amspsfnt/pfb :
    /usr/share/fonts/default/cmpsfont/pfb

while the new version (ghostscript-7.05-32.1.13) ends with:
...
Search path:
    . : /var/tmp/ghostscript-7.05-root/usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib :
    /var/tmp/ghostscript-7.05-root/usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/vflib :
    /var/tmp/ghostscript-7.05-root/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts :
    /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript : /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 :
    /usr/share/fonts/default/amspsfnt/pfb :
    /usr/share/fonts/default/cmpsfont/pfb

ie it is getting the buildroot path prepended to each of the standard (gs) 
search locations.

I just rebuilt from the same (upstream) srpm 
(ghostscript-7.05-32.1.13.src.rpm) and running gs -h on that binary 
give me:
  ...
Search path:
    . : /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib : /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/vflib :
    /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts : /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript :
    /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 : /usr/share/fonts/default/amspsfnt/pfb :
    /usr/share/fonts/default/cmpsfont/pfb

as expected, so I'm not sure why the released one would be any different.

As I'm sure you know there are no obvious changes in the src.rpm files 
which should affect this.
