I had a problem building it on Fedora 30 which uses GnuTLS 3.6.8, because 
starting in GnuTLS 3.6 the functions gnutls_compression_get and 
gnutls_compression_get_name are deprecated and cause compile-time errors when 
one builds with --enable-gcc-warnings. If you override the compile-time errors 
the compatibility stubs in libgnutls return null values, and some 
network-stream-tests fail.

I temporarily worked around the build problem by installing the attached patch 
which omits calls to these functions in GnuTLS 3.6 and later, but this doesn't 
fix the runtime issues. Is that something you could take a look at?
