Unfortunately most linux systems support two ABIs (at least) One uses
off_t with 32 bit and one with 64 bit.  The gpgme ABI requires off_t and
thus we compile for the most common off_t which is 64 bit these days.
All common GUI frameworks do it the same way.  To save the user from
strange crashes gpgme detects such an ABI mismatch and print the error
message you see.

There is a long chapter in the gpgme manual explaining this; in short
you should have a line

  AC_SYS_LARGEFILE 

in configure.ac.
