This has been discussed several times in the last years.

It is quite interesting that we are cross compiling the whole GnuPG
system for a decade without any problems:

  ./configure --prefix=${sysroot} \
              --with-gpg-error-prefix=${sysroot}

Package using pkgconfig require a wrapper to fix the paths.  Checkout
the Gpg4win meta installer for details.


Shalom-Salam,
