That’s another $(builddir) != $(srcdir) issue.  Can you check whether
f02628b3c9577e9a5a1fcaa87bdd2759fbd7011c fixes the problem?

The regression was introduced in
9d31ac4504a6cbaa1cf701efed301961f4ad5359, which changed
modules/gnutls.scm to be generated, and thus in $builddir instead of
$srcdir.

Sorry about that!

Ludo’.
