Hi,

In 2018 gnulib applied the patch discussed here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2018-10/msg00020.html

However, since Wget uses gnulib as part of its build process, this patch causes a bootstrapping problem for Wget due to a cyclic dependency:
Wget -> gnulib -> Wget

Hence, I request that the patch be reverted. We could switch the order such that Wget is the default and rsync is used as a fallback, but that allows us to build Wget without already needing a Wget binary from somewhere else.

Thanking You,
Darshit Shah
