Thanks, Kees, but it seems that the it2007 version of gpsd is somewhat 
different from the stock gpsd. The struct gps_fix_t seems to have more 
fields (pitch, roll and dip) in the it2007 version. This can be seen in 
the gps-saver source.

Well, I did some more searching and found the source of osso-gpsd in 
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/bora/free/source/osso-gpsd_0.8.tar.gz. 
I will check if I am able to compile it myself.
