I have a gcc world too, but while https://www.isc.org/ worked for
me as well, using others I got the same behaviour as Jan:

fk_at_r500 ~ $fetch -o /dev/null https://lists.sourceforge.net
fetch: https://lists.sourceforge.net: Authentication error

For some I got an additional error message:

fk_at_r500 ~ $fetch -o /dev/null https://www.google.com
34382938280:error:1408D07B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_KEY_EXCHANGE:bad signature:/usr/src/secure/lib/libssl/../../../crypto/openssl/ssl/s3_clnt.c:1811:
fetch: https://www.google.com: Authentication error

Letting libfetch use SSLv3_client_method instead of SSLv23_client_method
as suggested worked around the issue for me as well.
