This package links against libgcrypt. Afaict the only gcrypt related
code is this one:
---------------------------
#ifdef USE_GNUTLS
#include <errno.h>
#include <gcrypt.h>
GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_PTHREAD_IMPL;
#endif
[...]
#ifdef USE_GNUTLS
gcry_control(GCRYCTL_SET_THREAD_CBS, &gcry_threads_pthread);
gnutls_global_init();
if(!gnutls_check_version(GNUTLS_VER))
{
fprintf(stderr, "Needs version " GNUTLS_VER " of GNUTLS\n");
exit(1);
}
#endif
---------------------------
Starting with gnutls version 2.12.0 this should not be necessary
anymore. Quoting its NEWS:
------------------------------
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_global_set_mutex() to allow setting
alternative locking procedures. By default the system available
locking is used. In *NIX pthreads are used and in windows the
critical section API. This follows a different approach than the
previous versions that depended on libgcrypt initialization. The
locks are now set by default in systems that support it. Programs
that used gcry_control() to set thread locks should insert it into
a block of
#if GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER <= 0x020b00
gcry_control(...)
#endif
------------------------------
Of course the configure script will also need to changed to only
search for and link against gcrypt if gnutls is << 2.12.
gnutls 3.0.0 uses nettle instead of gcrypt as crypto backend and
therefore we should get rid of unnecessary libgcrypt11 dependencies.
