As non-root I tried to install wget this way into a user-owned directory:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/wget-1.16
make
make check
make install
1. configure fails to choose openssl instead of gnutls. I need to
specify --with-ssl=openssl
2. make check says "clock_gettime undefined": I need to specify
LIBS=-lrt with configure. (regression to wget-1.15)
3. All the python tests fail for configure has not recognized that there
is no python3 on the machine.
4. make install fails (regression to wget-1.15):
/usr/bin/install -c wget '/usr/local/bin'
/usr/bin/install: cannot remove `/usr/local/bin/wget': Permission denied
