That done, not even Gabber exception would be needed. Unfortunately, the compatibility layer does not implement the entire API. There is a good chance this approach will fail without considerate effort. I suggest disabling SSL/TLS support in Gabber, if it's possible with a simple building switch. Since it's an obsolete software and there are many alternatives, I don't think this will hurt. Meanwhile, I have tried to build wget with gnutls and, although it has failed, I could start improving the OpenSSL compatibility support in GNU TLS. Perhaps that could help some other software that seem to have the same problema, like mail-notify.
