If you pull the latest guix (I resurrected the MinGW build for Guile)
you can use something like the attached patch to build Guile-GnuTLS for
MinGW.

For cross-build CI you might get inspirationn from Guile
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/tree/.guix/manifest.scm>,
if so needed.

Well, guile-websocket is using it now and I believe it was rumoured that
might even be included Guile proper some time so you never know :)
