Hello, and thanks for the report.  The configure script added "-O2
-finline-functions" to CFLAGS unconditionally, which seem wrong.  I
have reverted this, so gnutls behave like any autoconf based project.
The NEWS entry reads:

- Optimizations ("-O2 -finline-functions") are not enabled by default,
  instead the standard autoconf defaults are used.  Use `./configure
  CFLAGS="-O2 -finline-functions"' to get the old optimizations.

Try a daily snapshot until 1.2.1 is released.

Thanks,
Simon
