it looks like this is definitely needed. But integrating it into our build
system is tricky, since it is not just a matter of applying a patch to
the tarball. (Actually, it looks like the gnulib update is the only one
that is needed. When I run ./bootstrap with the new gnulib, then git
checkout v1.21.3, ./configure and make dist, I get a tarball that works
for us on i686.)

That would indeed be most welcome! I would be happy to test a release
candidate. The one I got and put there:
   https://www.multiprecision.org/wget-1.21.3.24-2b723.tar.lz
works with the core-updates branch of Guix on i686 and x86_64.
