that sort of thing is usually due to one or more of:

a) cupsd was compiled against version X of some lib, but is being run
with version X+1, which is not compatible
b) cupsd was *designed* against version X of some lib, but is being
run with version Y, which is not compatible
c) compiler bugs
d) code bugs.

I think you have ruled out a)

b) is a possibility. you might consider using openssl instead of
gnutls if possible, and see what happens.
Or more carefully check release notes for "This works with version X of gnutls".

c) seems kindasorta indicated also. you might switch to gcc to
experiment. Or, try a different version of Sun CC

d) is most likely from what I see. I suspect its a GNUTLS-specific
part of the cups tree that has a problem.
