OK, I could get some gnutls.pc file with the gnutls library and I edited
it for the content to match my installation, so now it is as follows:

After doing these tricks about gnutls.pc, I get this:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
$ pkg-config --debug gnutls

Well, I could not reproduce this issue. It seems that I had an
unrecognized option *after* --with-gnutls=no.

I could compile till the end with a slight increase as follows:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
diff --git a/src/w32heap.c b/src/w32heap.c

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--  end  -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----


I note that that current sizes between narrow and wide are not
consistent, as 21 is not the double of 12.

Anyway, now I have a running Emacs 26, however it seems that it does not
have any gnutls in it, because when I try a message send, I get the
following error message:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
Sending via mail...
smtpmail-send-it: Sending failed: Emacs does not support TLS
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--  end  -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----


My configuration is as follows:

   smtpmail-default-smtp-server  smtpmail-smtp-server
   smtpmail-stream-type          starttls
   smtpmail-starttls-credentials ((smtpmail-smtp-server smtpmail-smtp-service smtpmail-from-address nil))
