I figured it'd be better to discuss this in a bug report than coordinating with the lists for the EFL and GTK+ ports at the same time.

glibc seems to have recently deprecated the gets() call following the C11 standard. gnutls ships with a bundled Gnulib, and the version shipped with the 2.x series fails to build after this change in glibc. The problem was fixed in Gnulib in <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=66712c23388e93e5c518ebc8515140fa0c807348>, which is present on gnutls 3.0.21, for example.

I don't know what's currently holding us at gnutls 2.x, so I'd like some input from you guys as to how to proceed here.
