The configure script of wget 1.21.1 seems to have a bug, which becomes visible
at least on old Mac OS X versions which use old GCC 4.2, see this
report:https://trac.macports.org/ticket/62134. It's my assumption that the
tests for C99 and C11 capabilities are incorrect while the maintainer assumes
that it's a bug in gnulib I should report. Could you check whether we are both
wrong? Or right?
The topic has come up before:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2021-01/msg00008.html
but as far as I know nobody has tracked down what's causing the bug.
I just now looked at the wget 1.21.1 tarball and it doesn't seem to
contain anything Gnulib-relevant. In particular it does not contain a
copy of gnulib/m4/std-gnu11.m4. So I don't see why the problem would be
due to a bug in Gnulib.
wget 1.21.1 was built with Autoconf 2.70, so the following post-2.70
patches to Autoconf might be relevant:
