wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/GNUinfo/make-stds.texi
gives me make-stds.texi which is 36362 bytes long. This is the same what
"dir" shows on the GNU server. This file has UNIX line endings only.

I meant the previous revisions on Autoconf CVS.

Lynx is also screwed. Looks like they try to determine the mime-type,
determine that it's x-texinfo and add DOS line endings. But my wget is
sane, maybe because it's old, version 1.5.3

It's rather a bug somewhere in the MIME settings.
Try forcing wget into the binary mode.
