Now I get a different error message:

make[4]: Entering directory `/home/jas/src/gnutls/gnutls-3.0.11/_build/guile/tests'
ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:
ERROR: file: "/home/jas/src/gnutls/gnutls-3.0.11/_build/../guile/src/guile-gnutls-v-2", message: "file not found"
FAIL: anonymous-auth.scm

With the patch below 'make distcheck' continues.  Reading gnutls.scm, it
seems like the right thing to me, but please confirm.
