[Bug-wget] Failed 1.19.5 install on Solaris 11.3

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm working from the Wget 1.19.5 tarball. 'make install' is failing on
Solaris 11.3. Is there any way to avoid the automake version checks?
As it stands I'm in a DoS situation because I need an updated Wget.

It has been my experience it is nearly impossible to update Autotools
(I have never been able to do it on Linux or Solaris). I am stuck with
the tools Oracle ships with Solaris.

Thanks in advance.

Jeff
