No.  The ABIs of GNUTLS and OpenSSL are entirely disjoint; there is no
reason that linking both libraries from a single application should cause
problems.

Linking two different versions of libldap into a single binary *is* known to
cause problems; linking to just the old libldap2 would also leave you
subject to any bugs present in that lib.  But just linking to GNUTLS and
OpenSSL is not a problem.
