There is an actual problem with Wget crashing, when cross-compiled for a
non-gnu, non-mingw host (in my case - Cygwin).
The gl_cv_func_gettimeofday_clobber is guessed as "yes", which prompts
NEED_LOCALTIME_BUFFER and REPLACE_LOCALTIME, and a wget compiled like that
crashes on a simple http download.
So this is somewhat rare, since few people cross-compile wget, but very real
nevertheless.
