My understanding (and Eric confirmed this at one point) is that Android 
already uses GPSD internally, but I have no idea how to access it from an 
app or whether that's even possible.

Maintaining a Makefile in parallel with the SConstruct would be a 
nightmare; it would be far better to fix whatever is necessary to make 
crossbuilding to Android from an SCons-capable platform work.  There's 
already some support for crossibuilding, but I think it needs work.
