The solution consists in passing `libgnutls.la' and `libgnutls-extra.la'
first in the `LDFLAGS' of `libguile-gnutls' and `libguile-gnutls-extra'
so that the RPATH is in the right order (it took me a while to figure it
out).

The fix is in my repository.

I'd rather send patches by email for such cases but it seems that the
only way to send the actual patch, the log, and the commit ancestry
information is with `git-format-patch' which creates a new message.  Or
is there another solution?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
