I initially tried building gnutle in /tmp, and the initial NETTLE test failed. Then I built nettle and installed that to /tmp/NETTLE : the initial test for NETTLE passed, but a later test to check for nettle_sec_rsa_decrypt failed because configure was linking to libnettle.so and getting the old system version. So in my case I did a straight upgrade. If yours is still failing in the initial NETTLE test, look at config.log and also look at /usr/lib/pkgconfig/nettle.pc to confirm that the version is indeed 3.4.1. Alternatively, if it fails on the later test, check that /usr/lib/nibnettle.so is a symplink to libnettle.so.6.5 (instead of to 6.4).
