This configuration builds fine here. So I guess the difference is that
I build inside a chroot in which I have almost no development package
installed in the host, and you build in your normal development
machine, on which you have many development packages installed, and
those are influencing the build somehow.

For now, I would suggest that we leave the Python support in gpsd on
the side, until someone who actually needs it steps up to fix the
issues. So I'll force python=no unconditionally. Do you agree with this?
