Hi. The issue is the bundled autogen'd files (src/*.bak) were generated
using autogen-5.18.5 while the bundled autoopts is from autogen-5.18.4.

Nikos, this problem is happening often (I recently had to fix the same
thing on 3.1.28). It might be easiest to bundle the same libopts version
in all releases and make sure the autogen where you build the .bak files
matches.  

Thomas, as for a fix, you can install autogen 5.18.5 and have GnuTLS
3.3.17 use that to autogen some of its files instead of using the
bundled .bak files or you might get away with:

sed -i -e 's|#define AO_TEMPLATE_VERSION 167937|#define AO_TEMPLATE_VERSION 167936|' certtool-args.h.bak cli-args.h.bak cli-debug-args.h.bak danetool-args.h.bak ocsptool-args.h.bak p11tool-args.h.bak psktool-args.h.bak serv-args.h.bak srptool-args.h.bak tpmtool-args.h.bak
