There's probably not much you can do to reduce the size of the helpers library.
Most of that is fairly core to the operation of the agent.
  You *might* be able to remove individual helpers if there are no MIBs that
require them, but I doubt there's a configure option to do this for you.
You'd have to work out which helpers were safe to use by trial-and-error.
If you manage to come up with a list, please let us know, so we can update
the documentation accordingly.

  I would have thought that:
      --disable-mib-loading
      --disable-snmpv1
      --disable-snmpv2c

should reduce the size of the main library slightly - though probably not
by a great deal.   Similarly for the other --disable-FEATURE options
(see "configure --help" for a full list).

Not loading the MIBs would probably make more difference to the
run-time memory usage of the agent/tools, rather than the size of
the library itself.
