Details:

I don't really have much more info than "before the update, things worked, now
they don't".

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23678
(note: in that bug somebody mentions that it also breaks claws-mail, not just
bitlbee)
http://bugs.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/ticket/779

at least in the case of bitlbee, I've tested that the problem goes away when I
downgrade to gnutls 2.10.5 or link the program against openssl instead.
Bitlbee developers also recommend linking against nss but when I do that, I
get another problem (although there the connection doesn't hang, it just dies
right away).
