Well, I don't know what to say, I think I like your humor. :-)

I followed instructions from a post on the gpsd-dev list.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gpsd-dev/2014-09/msg00008.html

With these instructions I'm able to build ARM binaries that should be 
compatible with my device.
At least `file` gives me the same output as for other software I had 
successfully cross-compiled for android 
(openssl,dropbear,bash,tcpdump,nmap etc.).

Someone already did that but the project is no longer maintained.

Since I'm no programmer I can't contribute code but let me know if I can 
help you out some other way.

kind regards,
