I posted also an article (in English) to the newsgroup
comp.sys.acorn.programmer if it helps you but I couldn't find it on my
current machine yet. It seems that I had used another machine for it. It
may be that you can find it in one of the Usenet archives, may be Google
group. It isn't such a long time I posted it there, one month or so.

Keep in mind that the information I posted there are for RISC OS, the
native and fast operating system for ARM, not Unix. This is why I
thought it isn't so important or helpful to you.

I found two e-mails now with more information about it:

To build the code, you have to call !GCC with

> elf2aif gnutls

And then, there was a problem with older hardware (StrongARM):

It is an older version of GnuTLS we're using on RISC OS at the moment.

Hope this helps.
