It shouldn't happen.  If you look at openssl.c:401, we register the
socket on Windows, not the fd.  I am just guessing it should work but I
don't have a Windows machine where I can check it by myself.

I have pushed some patches to do it.  Can you please try with the
development version if something is improved?

I have cross compiled to mingw without problems, I have obtained OpenSSL
for mingw using mingw-cross-env[1], which saved me from the burden of
cross-compiling it.

I think the gnulib getaddrinfo does it.

Have you tried the gnutls version of wget?  Does it work for you?
