It is a bug for a build script to invoke a program that is part of gpsd
by other than a fully-qualified path to where the obj version of it is
built by the build process.   It seems that "gpsfake -T' is being
invoked without the full path, and it's finding the gpsfake that's
installed from a production build of gpsd, or some old build, or
whatever.

The fix was obvious; I just pushed it after verifying that it works.

You really should take . out of your PATH.....
