Currently, the only build that fails is one with --without-ssl. While I understand that this is a ridiculous idea in this day, but we provide a configure option to build without SSL and should support it. I've left it there since it's a more major issue we need to look into before the next minor release.
It's "ridiculous" for a general tool, but not so much if you need it for a specific purpose, as you can avoid a fat dependency. Specially if you are compiling wget on a platform/architecture for which the ssl library is not readily available or where it's complex to build.
