Yeah, understood.

The problem I'm facing is I need a working Wget quickly. Trying to
build GnuTLS from sources is too heavy weight at this point in the
process. I can do it later, but I need the lightweight version
immediately.

The patch tested OK on Linux back to Fedora 1 with GCC 3. I've still
got AIX, OS X, Solaris and some other testing to do.
