This could be due to gpgme not finding the gpg binary.  gpgme detects the path
to gpg at configure time and it is compiled into the library.

Check the output of configure, it prints the detected paths.  It should have
complained about cross compilation and given you advice to use --with-gpg=path
to configure it,

How did you invoke configure for cross compilation?

env GPGME_DEBUG=9 gives you more info about what GPGME is doing.
