gnutls is failing to compile with wasm. I encounter the following error:

```

gnutls was configured like so:
```
CONFIGURE=./configure --prefix=$(PREFIX) \
                      --disable-shared \
                      --without-p11-kit \
                      --disable-nls \
                      --with-included-unistring \
                      --with-included-libtasn1 \
                      --enable-local-libopts \
                      --disable-doc \
                      --disable-tests \
                      --disable-guile \
                      --disable-tools \
                      --without-idn \
                      --without-brotli \
                      --without-zstd \
                      --without-tests \
                      $(CONFIGURE_OPTIONS)
```

Is there anyway for the setting disable-tests to make its way to gnulib dependency so it does not try and compile its own tests? They are not needed.
