Just experimenting in a sandbox homedir, I noticed that the homedir path
needs to be below a certain size.
$ pwd
/home/user/aaaaa/bbbbbbbb/cccccccc/dddd/eee/fffffffffff/ggggggggggggggggggggggg
$ mkdir -m 700 alice.gpg
$ gpg --homedir alice.gpg --gen-key
gpg: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed
$ gpg-agent --homedir alice.gpg --daemon
gpg-agent[3857]: socket name
'/home/user/aaaaa/bbbbbbbb/cccccccc/dddd/eee/fffffffffff/ggggggggggggggggggggggg/alice.gpg/S.gpg-agent.extra'
is too long
Changing to a shorter path works fine.
