When you build GnuPG, use ./configure --disable-exec --disable-dynload

That will leave out some extra stuff you don't need like the keyserver
support, photo ID support, and the ability to dynamically load the
IDEA cipher.

The development GnuPG allows you to also use --disable-xxxxx to leave
out individual algorithms, and --enable-minimal to make the smallest
gpg possible.  The minimal GnuPG has only DSA, Elgamal, RSA, MD5,
3DES, SHA-1, RMD160, ZIP and ZLIB.
