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).
