I have tried to integrate your work, but unfortunately, the GNU Pth
library doesn't even build on ARM glibc-based systems. It simply fails with:

pth_mctx.c: In function '__pth_mctx_set':
pth_mctx.c:480:2: error: #error "Unsupported Linux (g)libc version and/or platform"

Also, I don't think it's worth putting too much effort into this since
GnuPG is currently migrating to a new library named nPth, which
apparently should cause a lot less portability problems. See:
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2012q2/000315.html.

Therefore, I would rather suggest:

 (1) To package the 1.4.x version of gnupg, which is used in current
 distros (at least Debian/Ubuntu based distros), so it shouldn't be too
 old, and apparently has less dependencies.

 (2) Wait for the 2.1 development version of gnupg to become a stable
 version, and create a package for both nPth or Pth.

In the mean time, I've put an updated version of your work at
http://git.free-electrons.com/users/thomas-petazzoni/buildroot/log/?h=gnupg,
with a few fixes.

Best regards,

Thomas
