That one commit by Fulup Ar Foll seems to have randomly stepped on the
build recipe in *two different* places. Bernd Zeimetz was having one
of his usual post-release shit-fits about scons on #gpsd about three
hours because 57e9 broke linkage of gpsmon when the DBUS option is on.
(I was off at Friday night gaming and missed the excitement.)
I've copied Fulup; maybe he can explain why these apparently unnecessary
and completely unrelated changes were in there with 57e9.
This is partly my fault for not having noticed the build changes in that
patch. Of course, nobody else noticed them either, and that was
six months ago in April...
