Nop, i don't have ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, i currently have no need
for settings other than de dafault ones.
Anyways i start noticing this isssue is happening quite often on my
intel machine too, but with some weirdness. I mean, i have six mail
accounts configured for mpop, so it should do six calls to
pass+gpg(+gpg-agent only the first time), and while on arm i get six
broken pipe errors, on my x86 i get from zero to two/three of them
randomly.

Yes sure, sorry for that.
