I'm trying not to intervene in discussions I don't understand, but
that last paragraph sounds odd.  I build make-ca in my pre-boot
script which I run in chroot.  As far as I am aware, my only changes
from the book (apart from various switches in certain packages) are:

· Bind an nfs mount to /sources, and therefore I do not build in
  /sources.

· Bind /home/logs to /logs until I've booted, so that I can write my
  logs there.

And (after everyone'e help last weekend) make-ca works, as does wget
(and Thank You to you for noting that it should be built after the
certs so that it can use https:, I've now fixed that and confirmed
make-ca works like this on my laptop build.
