I have to admit I tried several -- even pushed it over the gcc8 on 10.6.8 to see if that might work.

At the moment, the most functional browsers on older systems are based on webkit2-gtk -- surf or epiphany wrap that.  Updating webkit2-gtk is hard. 

I guess I will roll back to gnutls 3.5.x until things are more sorted in that arena; it must be the new TLS 1.3 and associated protocols in the gnutls 3.6.x branch -- or maybe the way our current version of webkit2-gtk uses it. I tried rebuilding webkit2-gtk but just got the same errors.

Will report back if I ever figure it out. Probably will just be fixed upstream (gnutls or webkit2-gtk, not sure which).
