Take the easy way.  Try this: i

# scons check

Regression test successful: no errors in 113 tests (0 not found).
Elapsed time: 178.19
scons: done building targets.

No idea, many ways to break gpsd.  This is why it is good to
run 'scons check' early and often.  Also make frequent git commits so
you can bisect to the offending commit.
