I think this is actually the right solution. To either upgrade old box
to CentOS 7 or to move to new box running it.

Another idea that I had was to not require GnuTLS-3.2.0 every time. I
mean, what are the reasons we want GnuTLS? For better TLS in general
(where it makes sense to require 3.2.0 or newer) and for PRNG (where
1.2.0 or what is it that CentOS 6 has is sufficient). So what I am
suggesting is loosen the minimal requirement to whatever version CentOS
6 has unless remote/qemu drivers are built in which case 3.2.0 or newer
is required.
