Yes, that is my second suggestion.

The problem happens when you try to run ./bootstrap on a fresh git
checkout. The bootstrap script tries to sync the updated translations
before running configure.
What Bruno suggests is that Wget sets SKIP_PO=1 in the bootstrap script
and then updates the translations during build time. This

Alternatively, you could change the build system so that
- 'make'

No. From the point of security, "wget as default and rsync as fallback" is
just as bad as "rsync
Sure, I'll propose a patch tomorrow.

That sounds better than reverting, no? Perhaps you could propose a patch.
Hi,
In 2018 gnulib applied the patch discussed here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2018-10/msg00020.html
However, since Wget uses gnulib as part of its build process, this patch
causes a bootstrapping problem for Wget due to a cyclic dependency:
Wget -> gnulib -> Wget
Hence,
