That's what I thought at first but libgnutls-dev definitely is installed
on the host (Linux Mint Debian Edition which is essentially Debian
Testing). The config.log (should have included that before, sorry - in a
tarball: http://aconet.org/tmp/config.log.tar.gz ) suggests the error
actually isn't about not finding something, but some problem with
linking (attempted static link of dynamic object - see line 59841).

I'm also using Linux Mint Debian Edition. I was getting the problem with
linking to shared libraries even though the build is static. I got around
it by building everything as static including the libraries and deleting
the .so files.
I'm not when this started happening or why.

Unfortunately, the wget build is no longer as trivial as it once was
those years ago when I choose it for the headline example.  I don't think
there's particularly any better example, since that wouldn't really
solve the problem - that is, given the variation in distributions people
have, any upstream churn, and few developers, such breakages are likely
often.

The only way to mitigate this a little is some kind of autobuilder, but
that will only run on one system.  But it can at least preempt some of
these issues.
