FWIW I did a successful RPi3 Raspbian Jessie build from sources as
follows (from ny notes):

Install GPSD from sources
======================================================================

A) Get the sources from GIT.
----------------------------
wget
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gpsd.git/snapshot/release-3.16.tar.gz

Unpack the content into a directory like:
~/prog/gpsd/3.16

B) Install build requirements
-----------------------------
Needed to build the binaries:
sudo apt-get install python-dev libncurses5-dev

Man page generation requirements (big install!):
sudo apt-get install libxlt1-dev docbook-xsl xmlto asciidoc

C) Change dir to the source dir and build
-------------------------------------------
Build by issuing this command:

scons && scons check && sudo scons udev-install

If it succeeds then 
gpsd and gpsdctl will be installed here:
 /usr/local/sbin/

The other clients and utilities will be installed here:
 /usr/local/bin/

These are:
cgps, gps2udp, gpsctl, gpsdecode, gpsmon, gpspipe, gpxlogger, lcdgps,
ntpshmmon

Other utilities that are not built but simply copied from the 
distribution source tarball are:
gegps, gpscat, gpsfake, gpsprof, xgps, xgpsspeed

Man pages will also work.
