gpg-agent 2.1.16 needs about 10s for initialization saying need_entropy before it completes its first op

Hi,
we're using gpgme's C++ bindings in Trojita [1], an IMAP e-mail client. 
After an update of gnupg from 2.1.15 to 2.1.16, gpg-agent appears to need 
more than 10s to initialize itself during startup -- or at least our very 
first decryptAndVerify() operation takes more than 10s.

An initial report arrived for Fedora [2] because our unit tests have a 10s 
timeout for crypto operations. I was able to reproduce this on my Gentoo 
laptop after some detours [3].

Based on instructions at [4] I ran the test with watchgnupg, and here's its 
output:

$ watchgnupg --force --time-only

^C

It seems that my symptoms actually look pretty much like that bugreport [4] 
in Debian.

I checked what my kernel thinks about this 
(/proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail). It started at 3985 before I ran 
the test, then went a bit lower to 3735, then started slowly growing back.

The relevant packages are:

app-crypt/gpgme-1.8.0-r1:1/11::gentoo  USE="cxx qt5 -common-lisp -python 
-static-libs" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4"
app-crypt/gnupg-2.1.16::gentoo  USE="bzip2 gnutls nls readline smartcard 
usb -doc -ldap (-selinux) -tofu -tools -wks-server"
dev-libs/libgpg-error-1.24::gentoo  USE="nls -common-lisp -static-libs"
dev-libs/npth-1.3::gentoo  USE="-static-libs"
dev-libs/libassuan-2.4.3::gentoo  USE="-static-libs"

What should I do to get gpg-agent completing these requests sooner than 
after ten seconds? I could probably start it a bit sooner during the build, 
but that sounds a bit ugly. In the meanwhile, I increased the test timeout, 
but that is pretty ugly, too.

Cheers,
Jan
