I took a look at moving -Werror=declaration-after-statement to the
developer options. Because of this commit on the V5-9-patches branch
I can't make changes myself to any of the configure scripts:
"autoconf 2.72".

Please either switch back to autoconf 2.69 or update the table with
autoconf, automake and libtool versions in
https://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Build_System such that we all
use the same versions of these tools. If we each use different versions
of these tools that will result in frequent upgrades/downgrades of the
automake and libtool code included in the configure script. I think that
nobody wants this.

Thanks,

Bart.
