You can fix this by ./configure --with-libgnutls-prefix=/usr

and make a executable script inside /usr/bin/libgnutls-config with following:

----cut-----
#!/bin/bash
pkg-config $1 gnutls
----cut-----

You might get an error about version conflict in which case you can edit script 
to if $1 == "--version" then output (version its complaining about) or i just 
skipped the version check in the configure file.

Thanks so much for the work around, I was having the exact same problem.  Seems 
like this wouldn't be that hard to address though...

pkg-config returns version on options "-modversion" so any one can create 
"/usr/bin/libgnutls-config" script like:

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" == "--version" ]; then
pkg-config --modversion gnutls
else
pkg-config $1 gnutls
fi
