There's some (lib)gnutls but not the dev-package.

Yes. Here's the configure output:

| :
| checking for socket in -lsocket... no
| checking for compress in -lz... yes
| checking for libgnutls... no
| configure: error: --with-ssl=gnutls was given, but GNUTLS is not
available.

The point is that "--with-ssl=gnutls" was not given. I simply ran

        ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/wget-1.16
