Bug Description

Release: Ubuntu Focal
Architecture: armhf
wget version: 1.20.3-1ubuntu2

The following affects Ubuntu focal and likely future releases as well on armhf platforms. No this is not a missing certificate issue.

Attempting to download a file with wget using https fails to verify the certificate always. This does not happen on other architectures. The bug is described in more detail here: https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16337

The fix there was to add build options `-D_TIME_BITS=64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64` for armhf builds which fixes the issue for them.

As an example try to download a file from raw.githubusercontent.com on armhf and it will fail with such an error

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/probonopd/AppImages/master/excludelist -O-
