Sorry for taking so long to respond, but the change you provide below
would clearly not solve the problem: the "z" you introduced would end up
as the first token of a test .c file generated by configure, which would
of course fail to compile. So probably it "worked" for you by completely
disabling SSL support completely (check the output of "wget --version"
to see).

I don't have a statically-compiled system to test on, so I won't attempt
to make an alternative fix myself. Just letting you know I can't apply
this one.
