I have also these latest versions and I do not observe your problem.

Indeed GnuTLS version 3.6.13 does not provide gnutls_protocol_set_priority
symbol. It provides gnutls_priority_set_direct. You can check it by inspecting
the library:

$ nm -D /usr/lib64/libgnutls.so.30.27.0 |grep gnutls_priority_set_direct
0000000000052bc0 T gnutls_priority_set_direct
$ nm -D /usr/lib64/libgnutls.so.30.27.0 |grep gnutls_protocol_set_priority

If you read wget code, you will find out that gnutls_protocol_set_priority()
function is used only if HAVE_GNUTLS_PRIORITY_SET_DIRECT C preprocessor macro
is not defined. Please check src/config.h generated after running ./configure.
I bet it defines it.

If that's so, you need to find out why the configure check was unable to
discover support for gnutls_priority_set_direct. configure does this:

    for ac_func in gnutls_priority_set_direct
do :
  ac_fn_c_check_func "$LINENO" "gnutls_priority_set_direct" 
"ac_cv_func_gnutls_priority_set_direct"
if test "x$ac_cv_func_gnutls_priority_set_direct" = xyes; then :
  cat >>confdefs.h <<_ACEOF
#define HAVE_GNUTLS_PRIORITY_SET_DIRECT 1
_ACEOF

I recommed you reading config.log (around "checking for
gnutls_priority_set_direct" line) to find it out.

I suspect your GnuTLS installation is botched. Probably the library and header
files do not match.
