This is mostly a cosmetic issue, but it has led to an emacs bug report:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=35629
The issue is that "gpg2 --version" has an extra "-unknown" in the output:
$ gpg2 --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.15-unknown
[...]
I looked at the source, and it turns out that this is a consequence of running
autoreconf. You can fix it by building without autoreconf or, alternatively, by
applying the following patch:
--- origsrc/gnupg-2.2.15/autogen.sh 2018-06-12 07:25:39.000000000 -0400
