OK, here's what i do:
1) I unpack gnutls-3.0.23.tar.xz
2) I patch it (patches are attached; don't take patch 0004 seriously,
it's a workaround for braindead mingw.org w32api library)
3) in source directory: autoreconf -fi
4) in build directory: gl_cv_double_slash_root=yes STRIP=true
CFLAGS="-g" CPPFLAGS="-D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1" ${srcdir}/configure
- --prefix=/mingw --with-libtasn1-prefix=/mingw
- --with-libnettle-prefix=/mingw --enable-nls --disable-guile
- --enable-gtk-doc --with-libiconv-prefix=$/mingw
- --with-libregex-libs=-lgnurx
5) in build directory: make

The tail of make output is attached.

I've also seen problems linking errcodes, where it can't find include
file gnutls/gnutls.h, but i can't reproduce it at this moment. I think
i need to remove !WINDOWS exclusion from doc/Makefile.am for that.
