That's pretty awkward. Which version of libtool do you have installed?

The simple way is to do within the gnutls directory,
$ mkdir win32
$ cd win32
$ ln -s ../cross.mk Makefile
$ make gnutls-w32

By adjusting cross.mk you'll be able to chose between different versions
of the library, but you'll not be able to compile the git repository.

If you want to compile the git repository you should do something
similar to:
$ ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --enable-shared --disable-static
--enable-local-libopts --with-libnettle-prefix=/path/to/nettle-lib
--disable-libdane --disable-openssl-compatibility --with-included-libtasn1
$ make
