Comment (by Schamschula):

 Unfortunately, I don't think that I can be of help on this.

 However, I do agree that it is unlikely that gnutls itself is causing the
 problem. It just happens to have run into it. More likely this is an issue
 with Xcode/command line tools or the OS itself.

 Here's the section of the {{{configure}}} script that's calling this

 {{{
 # Check sonames of the linked libraries needed for FIPS selftests.
 save_CFLAGS=$CFLAGS
 CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $GMP_CFLAGS"
 save_LIBS=$LIBS
 LIBS="$LIBS $GMP_LIBS"



   { printf "%s\n" "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking gmp soname" >&5
 printf %s "checking gmp soname... " >&6; }
 if test ${gnutls_cv_soname_gmp+y}
 then :
   printf %s "(cached) " >&6
 else case e in #(
   e) cat confdefs.h - <<_ACEOF >conftest.$ac_ext
 /* end confdefs.h.  */

                #include <gmp.h>
 int
 main (void)
 {

                mpz_t n;
                mpz_init(n);
   ;
   return 0;
 }
 _ACEOF
 if ac_fn_c_try_link "$LINENO"
 then :
   gnutls_cv_soname_gmp=`(eval "$LDDPROG conftest$EXEEXT $LDDPOSTPROC") |
 grep '^libgmp\.so'`
 else case e in #(
   e) gnutls_cv_soname_gmp= ;;
 esac
 fi
 rm -f core conftest.err conftest.$ac_objext conftest.beam \
     conftest$ac_exeext conftest.$ac_ext ;;
 esac
 fi
 { printf "%s\n" "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result:
 $gnutls_cv_soname_gmp" >&5
 printf "%s\n" "$gnutls_cv_soname_gmp" >&6; }
   if test -z "$gnutls_cv_soname_gmp"
 then :
   gnutls_cv_soname_gmp=none
 else case e in #(
   e) GMP_LIBRARY_SONAME="$gnutls_cv_soname_gmp"

 printf "%s\n" "#define GMP_LIBRARY_SONAME \"$gnutls_cv_soname_gmp\""
 >>confdefs.h
  ;;
 esac
