FWIW, on a real debian/etch the latest gpsdrive SVN 'debuild binary's
ok for me.
(mapnik, gda3, speechd, = OFF   so this Mapnik code #ifdef'd away)

funny, the boost-filesystem-dev package in etch only contains three
/usr/share/doc/ files (README.Debian, changelog.Debian, copyright),
other than those it is empty..

etch$ dpkg -S boost-filesystem-dev | grep -v -w doc
etch$

there is no Mapnik package in official Etch, you have to manually install
0.5.1 from backports.org if you want it.
