I have now done git pull and removed pkg-config from system
temporarily, this below is the message I got, even though I do have
gnutls in the system.

...
checking for pkg-config... no
...
checking for GifMakeMapObject in -lgif... yes
configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
     gnutls
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
To build anyway, give:
     --with-gnutls=ifavailable
as options to configure.
