Libgpg-error should be built first as it is required by all other 
libraries except npth.

Apart from that, there is no dependencies between the other libraries 
and they can be built in any order.

For example, when I compile GnuPG for Slackware, I do this (on a fresh 
VM with a "vanilla" Slackware):

1) Build libgpg-error and npth (in any order).
2) Install libgpg-error.
3) Build libgcrypt, libassuan, and libksba (in any order).
4) Install npth, libgcrypt, libassuan, and libksba.
5) Build gnupg.

(This should be suitable for any GNU/Linux system beyond Slackware. 
However, I don't know about building GnuPG on/for other systems.)
