8 No, and no. The problem is the ABI is silently changing. Rebuilding
9 everything before updating openssl will just recompile everything with
10 the old ABI, and then when it silently changes everything will still
11 break. The purpose of building wget with gnutls is to make it no
12 longer use openssl, so then it doesn't break at all.
