That was really helpful Tim, made me look into texinfo documentation...
The dot, ".", after the number didn't help, I had to place it before
instead, :-).
Also if one has @item in the immediate following line after another
@item, that's a failure, since texinfo requires @itemx instead.
And even one has @item followed by @itemx, but with other lines in
between the 2, somehow that's not understood, and @item is required...
Weird thing...
I'm attaching the patch that worked for me, and I'm pasting how the
man looks like for the particular exit status after the fix:
++++++++++++++++++++++++
EXIT STATUS
Wget may return one of several error codes if it encounters problems.
.0 No problems occurred.
.1 Generic error code.
.2 Parse error - for instance, when parsing command-line
options, the .wgetrc or .netrc...
.3 File I/O error.
.4 Network failure.
.5 SSL verification failure.
.6 Username/password authentication failure.
.7 Protocol errors.
.8 Server issued an error response.

Well, it's able to build now, :-)
