My favorite use of ghost script is to combine PDF's. I upgraded Cygwin
this weekend, and ghost script fails to perform this task
I am running this:
Cygwin Setup version 2.904 (64 bit)
base-cygwin 3.8-1
ghostscript 9.52-1
ghostscript-fonts-other 6.0-1
Windows 10 Pro version 1909 build 18363.836
When I run the script:
$ gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=combine.pdf
able.pdf baker.pdf charly.pdf
I can confirm this. As a workaround, downgrade ghostscript and libgs9
to the previous version, 9.50-1, while I investigate.
Thanks for the report.

as alternative workaround, you can use qpdf to merge PDF files
qpdf --empty --pages able.pdf baker.pdf charly.pdf -- combine.pdf
