I tried them both:

     -VMSTAR : compiled out of the box both on my 8.4 Itaniums and
               8.4-2L1 Alpha's
               Thanks, as always, for the updated version


     -wget : I had to tweak it a little bit (only tried on Itanium yet)
             The build I tried was against OpenSSL 1.1.1h
               problems I found + solutions/work-arounds
                   - One of the "Actions didn't update" made MMS to stop
                     do I added /ign=warning on the command line
                   - The compilation gave a warning of of an external in
                     the ssl-headers to be more than 31 characters. Since
                     OpenSSL is compiled by default with
                     /name=(as_is,short), I added the same to the CFLAGS
                     in the *.mms files.
                     By doing this you need two more things
                       1) upcase lib$initialize in the c-sources
                       2) in the *.mms files replace
                              /include = (main)
                          by
                              /include = ("main")
                   -The linking gives the following warning: 


                      LINK /notraceback    /executable =
                           [-.SRC.IA64L]WGET.EXE         [-.SRC.IA64L]LI
                           BSRC.OLB /library /include = ("main"),
                           [-.LIB.IA64L]LIBLIB.OLB /library
                           , [-.VMS]WGET_SSL_OD_SHR.OPT /OPTIONS
                      %ILINK-W-MULDEF, symbol DECC$__UTC_UTIME multiply
                              defined
                              file: SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DECC$SHR.EXE;1
                      %ILINK-W-MULDEF, symbol DECC$TXSNPRINTF multiply
                              defined
                              file: SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DECC$SHR.EXE;1
                      %ILINK-W-MULDEF, symbol DECC$STRTOK_R multiply
                              defined
                              file: SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DECC$SHR.EXE;1

                      I think this is harmless
