The string "--kx" appears nowhere in the Emacs 24 sources.
I see it comes from rudel-tls.el,
https://github.com/emacsmirror/rudel/blob/master/rudel-tls.el#L60
which is apparently an external in GNU Elpa.
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/rudel.html
says to report bugs to
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=249139
which doesn't exist.
A search finds
https://sourceforge.net/p/rudel/issues/17/
where the identical issue was reported six years ago.
So it's not looking good for it ever being fixed.
(Why are unmaintained packages added to GNU Elpa?)
As an aside, emacs25 is available for Debian 9, with built-in gnutls support:
apt-get install emacs25
But it won't unbreak rudel.el.
