bootstrap fails often due to savannah
It seems that ./bootstrap attempts to contact savannah.gnu.org even if the gnulib directory is present. That due to savannah instability causes several CI failures. The bootstrap script should not have attempted to contact savannah since we ship a recent copy of gnulib in our CI images.
Example from this build:
./bootstrap: getting gnulib files...
Submodule 'gnulib' (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git) registered for path 'gnulib'
Cloning into '/builds/gnutls/gnutls/gnulib'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git/': The requested URL returned error: 502
