The attachment worked.  Alpine was great, while it lasted.  Too many new
things it does not support.

The raw.log looks fine to me.  Did anything in there look wrong to you?

Since it looks like the recently added regression I'll just keep it
in case you mention something.

Odd.  I would have expected it in site-packages...

Which is why I keep asking for the output of:
        1) full build log
        2) ntpshmmon

Which is very odd.

Well, if scons says no, then it will not work.  Those tests are there for
good reasons.  Not good to proceed after you get an error.

No, you do not need root.  It just works differently without root.
ntpshmmon would have shown how/why.

Just let the autobaud work.  9600 is the Garmin 18x default.  Changing
it require gpsctl to work, which in your case it ahs not.

If ppstest fails, then gpsd can not read /dev/pps0 either.

That means you have a connection problem or a driver problem.  Well
before gpsd starts.  Check your wiring, your voltages and your
kernel modules.
