I don't have a solution for you yet but just as another datapoint wget 1.21.1 
builds fine with those OS versions in MacPorts.

If you want to compare your build logs with ours, for wget 1.21.1 ours are:

https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.14_x86_64-builder/builds/77011/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.15_x86_64-builder/builds/48550/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-11_x86_64-builder/builds/15939/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

In the process of trying to update the MacPorts findutils port from 4.7.0 to 
4.8.0 just now, I encounter the same error that you see, on macOS 10.13. So 
there is something wrong there.
