I had to drop the libintl patch from 1.11 as it didn't apply any more. Please check whether it is still necessary on ppc-aix.
% uname -s AIX % eix -ec wget Garbage at end of version string: .1 [I] net-misc/wget (1.11@01/30/08): Network utility to retrieve files from the WWW wget works fine on ppc-aix, tested with `wget google.com`
Ok, thanks!
