I see the problem - a simplification of the CF_HEADER_PATH macro in 
aclocal.m4 - I omitted the detail in lynx's changelog, but had summarized
it in dialog as

          + modify CF_HEADER_PATH, to not search for variations of everything
            in the current include-path

That made it no longer find /usr/include/gnutls.  I'll send a patch for 
this to the mailing list...
