[Buildroot] gpsd not included in build

[bruce bushby]

Thanks Thomas!!!

Appears it's something to do with my build setup.....gpsd does indeed build.

"..building as root.."  pure laziness , I use virtual machines for building
and don't care if they get trashed...but it's good advice, I'll switch to a
user for future builds.
