You don't.
At some point you have to choose to trust something. This is usually
your operating system provider. If you can't trust your operating
system provider, then you're completely screwed and there's nothing
anyone can do to change this.
The question is not, "has GnuPG in distro XY been compromised?"
The question is, "should I trust distro XY?"
