GnuTLS cannot be built against Nettle 3.0. You'll need to use nettle
2.7.

<http://lists.lysator.liu.se/pipermail/nettle-bugs/2014/003129.html>
        There may be some problems in the new interfaces and new
        features which really need incompatible fixes. It is likely
        that there will be an update in the form of a 3.1 release in
        the not too distant future, with small but incompatible
        changes, and if that happens, bugfix-only releases 3.0.x are
        unlikely. Users and applications which desire better API and
        ABI stability are advised to stay with nettle-2.7.x (latest
        version is now 2.7.1) until the dust settles.
