I suspect the error message in #948388 is telling: error:vehicle_gpsd:vehicle_gpsd_try_open:Warning: gps_fd is 0, most likely you have used a gps.h incompatible to libgps
hmm, this error message does not come from libgps.
It seems foxtrot was built against a different libgps binary. It's also why I got the idea to write the quick C program in #948388, which returns a nonzero fd.
Please try to rebuild it as pabs suggested and see what happens. There are no ABI/API changes recorded, but that doesn't say that it did not happen. Especially the gps_data_t struct did not change, so gps_fd should still be at the same position. But: imho there is no reason to look at that fd at all. Just because you connect to a gpsd with gps_open does not mean that there is a gps device connected to gpsd. Using this is also not documented (and: afaik was never). So the other test would be to remove this gps_fd check and see if it just works...
