GnuPG recognizes GnuTLS for me...

Maybe config.log gives a hint of why it's not being found for you.
Thanks Chris -- I won't be able to check this out until after the
weekend now.
OK, I returned earlier than expected. I've checked the GnuPG build and
it seems that libidn2 hadn't created a pkgconfig file. I've manually
created one, and now GnuPG builds with GnuTLS support, but questions
remain:-
1. What could have stopped the libidn2 build from creating a .pc file?
I seem to remember having this issue a few years ago, but I can't
remember which package was affected.
2. Libidn2 appears to be a dependency of GnuTLS. The book wrongly
shows libidn as an optional dependency. Instead, libidn2 needs to be in
the required dependency list, particularly if GnuTLS support is required
in a future GnuPG build.
3. Shouldn't libidn2 have a page of its own in the book, like NASM and Yasm?
Neither libidn nor libidn2 is required for GnuTLS - I don't have either,
and GnuTLS installs fine, and GnuPG still finds GnuTLS.
