I never use configure on windows so I don't know about the quirks you need for
that. I regularly build curl with most of the TLS backends though and I always
use the pkg-config approach so I'm quite sure gnutls builds work for the
general non- windows case.

I find that the most constructive way to debug these problem is to simply
investigate what config.log has to say. And in this case you can see how the
gnutls linking fails.

I don't even know if that gcc command line is supposed to be able to find the
.dll files you speak of. Putting libs/dlls in the *bin* dir seems unorthodox
to me anyway, as lots of configure logic assumes an install prefix and a
$prefix/lib and $prefix/include directory layout.
