This is a typical parallel building bug, something is reading dxmainc.o while something else hasn't yet finished writing it. There is a dependency between these two missing somewhere in some Makefile. In buster this is workarounded with https://sources.debian.org/src/ghostscript/9.52.1%7Edfsg-1/debian/rules/#L33-L36 > I cannot find an explanation for this error, and the package builds > fine on porterbox abel.debian.org (see > ~beuc/ghostscript_9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u7_armhf.build), so I suppose a > transient buildd failure occurred. >...
