What gnutls version are you running?  (I've got 1.4.1 unmasked and I've tested
it with gnutls-1.2.11)

until now i did not use gnutls, there even is an IUSE-flag.

I did try with -gnutls, no success.

After installing gnutls, emerging of lftp succeeded again.

The autoreconf process needs the AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS defined by
/usr/share/aclocal/libgnutls.m4 provided by gnutls.

Looking at alternatives here but it just might be easier to wait until the new
release.

You could unmerge gnutls now that you have lftp installed.

What about making gnutls a mandatory dependency for now? (After all it already
*is* mandatory to emerge lftp ;) )

I was hoping for a new release soon so I could drop the dependency. There have
been a few bugs and patchs made available so I'm hoping for a new release soon.

wow - the cc list added quickly.

Added lftp-3.5.4 with only light testing.

Please check its fine for you and can one person confirm it by annotating here.

Compiles fine on my ~amd64 system :-)

lftp-3.5.4 compiles just fine on x86.
