What I have found from bootstrapping Wget on older systems that run from non-standard locations [1]: * use sed to change -l<lib> to point to the archive in configure [2] * run configure * use sed to change -l<lib> to point to the archive in the Makefiles [3] When I say "point to the archive", I mean the absolute path to the archive (though a relative path may work, if you are mindful of cwd during command invocations). After the configure/make/make check cycle, you will have an executable that can run from anywhere without the need for RPATHs, RUNPATHs, LD_PRELOAD and LD_LIBRARY_PATH tricks because there are no special shared object dependencies. You will still depend on some shared objects, but they are system shared objects like linux-vdso.so and libc.so. After I get Wget bootstrapped, I can build other programs, like cURL, Git, OpenSSH, etc. I bootstrap Wget instead of cURL because Wget only has two dependencies - OpenSSL and libunistring. After I get a modern Wget on a machine, I can build more complex programs like cURL or a fully featured Wget.
