imho the way it is done in gpsd.h is wrong anyway - even scons has
functions to check if a type is define or if some function exists.

http://www.scons.org/doc/HTML/scons-api/SCons.Conftest-module.html

The current way depends far too much on compiler/libc versions.
At least the posix defines should be used instead, I could imagine
there are some more than the one I found in the manpages...
