gpg-agent crashes under some circumstances due to the use of clock_gettime which is not available on macOS 10.11
Reported by Luke Le | March 30th, 2018 @ 08:09 PM | in 2.2.7 (closed)
Steps to reproduce
1.) Remove .gnupg folder
rm -rf ~/.gnupg
2.) Run "gpg -K" to have the .gnupg folder recreated
gpg -K
3.) Remove ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
rm ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
4.) Create a symlink for ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx which points to nowhere
cd ~/.gnupg
ln -s test ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
5.) Try to symmetrically encrypt some text
echo "Test" | gpg --symmetric
6.) gpg-agent will crash
Only affects macOS < 10.13

(from [95a5adc428806d46a40cfd7aefddbb3277d0b63e]) Don’t use clock_gettime since it is not available on macOS < 10.13
