you don't need an exact box to compile it on, just a box with the same
distro version (usually, but not always an older version will work as the
compile box as well)

after you do the ./configure and make, install the checkinstall package and
do 'checkinstall make install' instead of 'make install', that will prompt
you for info about the package to keep the package manager happy (you can
run apt-cache show rsyslog to get the info from the package you are
currently running to enter when prompted) and that will create a .deb
package that you can then install

You are far from the only person having problems with GnuTLS, so i asked on
the list if they can make a build with the debugging turned on

I'm running the latest Ubuntu 14.10 and it's using gnutls 3.2 so I would be
surprised if you were running 3.3 It doesn't show up with the ldd because
it's only needed if you load a module that uses it.

$ dpkg -l |grep libgnutls
ii  libgnutls-deb0-28:amd64                                    
3.2.16-1ubuntu2.1                                        amd64        GNU
TLS library - main runtime library
ii  libgnutls-deb0-28:i386                                     
3.2.16-1ubuntu2.1                                        i386         GNU
