There's some (lib)gnutls but not the dev-package.

Yes. Here's the configure output:
| :
| checking for socket in -lsocket... no
| checking for compress in -lz... yes
| checking for libgnutls... no
| configure: error: --with-ssl=gnutls was given, but GNUTLS is not
available.
The point is that "--with-ssl=gnutls" was not given. I simply ran
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/wget-1.16
