Yeah, this is the worst part. I am bootstrapping a private Wget that
has HTTPS support (and not much more) so I can fetch the latest
packages. Once I get beyond bootstrap I can build the latest of
everything.

There's a nasty little circular dependency in OpenSSL 1.1.x since
OpenSSL needs Perl 5.10 to configure itself:

   * OpenSSL needs Perl 5.10
   * Perl needs BerkelyDB 6.2
   * BerkelyDB needs OpenSSL

Once I get OpenSSL built, then Wget is a breeze.
