Ah, ah. I had seen that gpsd used pkg-config in the first place before
trying ncurses5-config, but I didn't see ncurses having installed .pc
files. I guess we lack the --enable-pc-files, which I'll try. .pc files
are definitely much nicer than those ugly -config shell scripts.

On a different note, we're having cross-compilation problems with the
Python support of gpsd: it uses the host compiler, and wrong library
locations. I haven't gotten to the bottom of it at the moment. Is
anyone using this?

Anyway, thanks Mike for the interesting pointer!
