(1) Grab wget-1.5.3.tar.gz and unpack

(2) Patch two source files:

(3) On a C-90, modify src/host.c: add (char *) cast to argument
    of gethostbyname()

(4) configure withn

        configure --prefix=$GNUROOT --host=cray --disable-nls

(5) edit config.cache to compile source as Std-C:
        am_cv_prog_cc_stdc=${am_cv_prog_cc_stdc='' ''}

(6) configure again:
        configure --prefix=$GNUROOT --host=cray --disable-nls

(7) make, test, and make install
