This is what was replaced, AFAIK I'm not running anything tasteless enough to statically link it in (least on Linux, on Windows the story could be worse).

Distribution: openSUSE 13.1
/usr/lib64/libgnutls-xssl.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib64/libgnutls.so.28.25.0

# services holding libgnutls open
for s in xdm dbus; do systemctl restart $s; done

Actually I got lucky, the latest OpenSSL fixes are available, which added wpa_supplicant.service and sshd to the restart list.

Alot of trouble, for a feature I don't knowingly use, some kind of dynamic on-demand loading based system bit like kernel modules, which allowed disabling insecure (or unused) features, would be a nice mitigation. The problem is breaking the "just works" paradigm, though I guess white & black lists where security fixes are pending might not be too awful.
