Appreciate any advice on below problem:

I have a problem to connect z/OS FTPS server when I choose TLS1.2 protocol:

leonidt@zdsdeveng03:/gsa/pokgsa/home/l/e/leonidt/20190114_Switch2lftp> ~/local/bin/lftp -u us15030,******** ftp://bldbmsa.boulder.ibm.com
lftp [email protected]:~> set ftp:ssl-allow true
lftp [email protected]:~> set ftp:ssl-force true
lftp [email protected]:~> set ftp:ssl-protect-data true
lftp [email protected]:~> set ftp:ssl-protect-list true
lftp [email protected]:~> set ssl:priority NORMAL:+VERS-TLS1.2
lftp [email protected]:~> set ssl:ca-file "/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem"
lftp [email protected]:~> ls
**ls: Fatal error: gnutls_handshake: A TLS fatal alert has been received.**
lftp [email protected]:~> quit

While it works fine with TLS 1.1

I am using Version 4.8.4 lftp from SuSe linux host:

uname -a
Linux zdsdeveng03 3.0.101-108.84-default #1 SMP Fri Nov 30 15:57:27 UTC 2018 (7a72692) s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux

It does not look to be FTPS host side problem, because curl works with it fine using TLS 1.2:

curl --ftp-ssl --tlsv1.2 --cacert /etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem --use-ascii -v -T unzip1.jcl ftp://us15030:********@bldbmsa.boulder.ibm.com//tmp/

Following advice form Alexander Lukyanov, I have compiled lftp with latest gnutls, and it works now fine with TLS 1.2 in my home folder:
