Oh, it has some POSIX shells, just not as default. So wontfix it is, good!

Some more feedback would help, since the gpg-agent error was hidden at 
that point.
Like: «WARNING: the total path length of the gpg-agent socket is longer 
than 107, that may prevent it from starting».
For regular use, I guess it's fine, but I'm still looking for a 
practical solution for the successful run of »gmake check».
Just the basic name takes 38 characters: « 
/gnupg-2.1.1/tests/openpgp/.gpg-agent ».
The way the packaging buildfarm I'm using works, I'll have trouble to 
get below 107.
Would it be possible to eg use a directory in /tmp?
