I had to try a lot of 'newer' Ghostscript-versions before I found the newest one that still compiles. The newest version Ghostscript 9.54 from 9.53.0 and up has a dcontrib.mak instead of a contrib.mak in /devices, so again the script fails.
There is another compilation error from 9.27 and up.
GS 9.26 PDL compiles and links fine on Linux (Ubuntu) Mint 20.4 as does the original GS 9.22.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Fixed with a new release gsdjvu_1.7 which works with ghostscript-9.14.
Please test and reopen this bug if problems remain.
Thanks.
I tested the new version and it is working fine (it doesn't hang on the PDF file that I want to convert anymore).

Unfortunate that you've added this comment to a closed bug because I did not see it.
Anyway I just pushed into git a patch for gs 9.53 and up.
