This has to do with the TLS ‘SERVER NAME’ extension (info "(gnutls)
Server name indication").  Unfortunately

  gnutls-cli -p https unix4lyfe.org -VV

doesn’t seem to provide helpful info.

I don’t think we can easily ignore this alert in (guix build download),
and it’s really a server configuration issue in the first place.
