Hi Robert,

Thank you.  This worked, in the sense that Emacs compiles with GNUTLS
enabled and GMP disabled.

However, when I try to open servers in gnus, I get the following error
message for each server (whether pop, imap, or nntp):

,----
| Decrypting /home/ucecesf/s/dotfiles/authinfo.gpg...done 
| Mail source (pop :server XXX :user YYY :port 995) error (Getting random data).
| Continue? (y or n) 
`----

I have a feeling that this is gnutls related but I am not sure.  Any
pointers would again be very welcome!

I may have to consider upgrading that computer to Debian stretch... but
that would be my last resort.
