Updating gnutls-devel package breaks configure tests fo JPEG, TIF, PNG etc.

[Angelo Graziosi]

Usually I do weekly builds of Emacs trunk but this morning the build 
failed in configuring

Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
If you don't want to link with them give
     --with-xpm=no --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
as options to configure
build-emacs.sh: CONFIGURE failure...


So, for sanity check, I retried with a previous build for which I was 
sure it worked... but strangely this time it failed in the same way... :(

After some investigations, I found that the only change in my Cygwin 
installation was the updating of GNUTLS packages (from version 3.1.11-1 
to 3.2.0-1).

Reverting (really, I was pessimistic...) the only  gnutls-devel package 
to 3.1.11-1 version allows for Emacs configure to be completed 
successfully (and also the full build).

If someone is interested I can sent the

config.log-success-gnutls-devel-3.1.11-1
config.log-fail-gnutls-devel-3.2.0-1

as archive config.logs.tar.xz (38K)


Ciao,
  Angelo.
