Thanks, Remi.

I am still able to get a 2.2 binary on openSUSE and I guess that generation of 
master stops because of af2fb08: a missing $(RECONF) has been added in 
rules.mak of gpg-error which forces the check of the generation chain.

I think af2fb08 should be also backported in 2.2 bugfix branch,

Best regards,
