Hi, Tim and Don, The bug Don is experiencing is a gnulib bug. It seems to have been introduced by commit d0f486f09869cad33c4a7039d88e45fedd815c23, which removed several automake scripts. I've verified that it occurs on both OS X and Ubuntu; I'll take this to the gnulib list.
Don, you can work around this for the time being by cloning the gnulib repo inside the wget repo and reverting it to the commit prior to d0f486f09869cad33c4a7039d88e45fedd815c23. Misty
