Oh, looking some more, wors then I thought:

May  3 12:10:38 obelix user.crit gpsd[979]: gpsd:ERROR: can't bind to IPv4 port 
2947, Cannot assign requested address(99)
May  3 12:10:38 obelix daemon.info bluetoothd[958]: Bluetooth management interfa
ce 1.14 initialized
May  3 12:10:38 obelix user.crit gpsd[979]: gpsd:ERROR: can't create IPv6 socket
May  3 12:10:38 obelix user.crit gpsd[979]: gpsd:ERROR: command sockets creation
 failed, netlib errors -1, -1

You do not even have IPv4 up when gpsd starts.  gpsd tries to open an
IPv4 socket, and fails.  The gpsd drops root.  Game over.
