The other potential impact is that gnutls no longer uses libgcrypt,
but instead uses nettle.

This can impact apps that were using gnutls in a threaded environment
because they probably have used 'gcry_control' to register a thread
impl for gcrypt, to ensure that gnutls was thread safe.

So merely rebuilding applications may well not work & require some
code changes. This will certainly impact libvirt builds.
