I feel like you've missed the first half of the discussion, so I'll
summarize it:

Since 583995c, make check on hydra crashes when loading the gnutls tests.
It uses gnutls 3.2.21. I installed that on my rhel7 system (with
--disable-non-suiteb-curves) and reproduced the crash. The backtrace is
at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-07/msg00716.html .

Specifically, I find it crashes because gnutls_cipher_list returns a list
containing GNUTLS_CIPHER_UNKNOWN.

The following patch fixes it for me:
