Thanks so much for this Simon.

I've had a go at updating the Guix guile-gnutls package and sent an
initial patch to https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63388 .

It seems to build for me, but I'm having problems cross building. There
were warnings before about protocol/ssl3 being undefined, but now this
seems to result in an error when building extra.scm:

gnutls.scm:609:25: warning: possibly unbound variable `protocol/tls1-0'
