Ah, I did not realize you had a build problem.

I'm using a Pi B, a Pi2 and a Pi3.  Consider getting rid of you A+,  for
$35 life is sweeter on the Pi3.

Well, there's your problem.  Eric struggled mightly with the instability
in Jessie.  He'd patch something, a Jessie update would break it, rinse,
repeat.  Even now it is a fast moving target.  On reason I gave up on
Debian (yet again), and put Gentoo on all my Pi's.  Easy, except for the
Pi B being so low.

If that persists after you update Jessie, then you need to send NTPsec
a bug report.  They are being very responsive.  gpsd does not handle
ntpd issues, we just work with what they send us.
