Not answering your question, but may be helpful:If you regularly build wget2 from git, you only have to do download gnulib once. When the gnulib submodule becomes updated by the project (happens from time to time), only the missing parts are downloaded by git, which should be fast even on slow network connections.
Another option is to git clone gnulib into a separate directory outside the project directory and set the env variable GNULIB_REFDIR to this directory (e.g. "export GNULIB_REFDIR=/home/carles/git/gnulib"). When needed (or eventually), use "git pull" from inside the gnulib directory to update it.
The `./bootstrap` script in the wget2 project then fetches the needed gnulib commits from from $GNULIB_REFDIR.
To speed things up in container CI environments:If containers are only used once, git clone gnulib at image creation time and do "rmdir gnulib && mv /gnulib . && git submodule update gnulib" in the container. This is still experimental, just started using it yesterday without experiencing any downsides so far.
