This doesn't sound like the version of the include file is the problem,
and "illegal instruction" is not related to the API version but to the
machine code compiled from that source code.

If my assumption is correct you should also get the "illegal
instruction" if you remove the line

#include <gps.h>

and add one of the following instead:

#define GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION   6
#define GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION   8

how do you compile the program? Using a single command line, or is there
a Makefile?
