Let me just interject here. First, setting `CFLAGS="-g"` doesn't affect the 
speed at all. Only the size of the final binary.
But, more important is the fact that putting this in your `.bashrc` is not very 
good advice. Since now, the CFLAGS are overridden and the `-g` flag is set for 
all compilations, not just Wget2. Any program you compile on the system will 
have the debugging symbols built into it, which inflates the size of the binary 
by a large amount.

A better approach would be set the CFLAGS during the configure stage. So that 
it is only valid for the current build
