Dear Simon, The use of it confused me, since it seems to have been required by libtool/automake while compiling a project (linking phase) that does NOT reference gnutls/libtasn anywhere -- it suddenly got into Makefile.in/Makefile (but was never in Makefile.am/configure.ac). Looking a bit more into this, the problem seems to always arise when I link against libcurl. I have libcurl3, libcurl3-gnutls and libcurl4-gnutls-dev installed (7.21.6-1).
I hope this helps!
