How did you try to compile?  I need a lot more context.

Usually the problem is explicit in the configure step, so to debug we
need the output of the entire build process.

Here is my build script:

scons --clean
scons distclean
scons --config=force timing=True  && scons install

Odd, I have no /usr/share/dpkg either, and it works fine for me.

I'm not sure where this part of your command line came from:
    -specs=/usr/share/dpkg/no-link.specs

It is not from gpsd.  Do you have any CFLAGS, or similar, set?

I assume you have read build.txt.
