Hi Andreas, Apologies for the delay!

The second one is the build failure that stems from the fact that it’s trying to load ‘guile-gnutls-v-2.so’, which is bound to fail when cross-compiling. The patches at <https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/merge_requests/1120> should address these two issues. (You should be able to apply them directly in the Debian package, if needed.) Feedback welcome! Thanks, Ludo’.
