RE: Reducing the size of libnetsnmp, libnetsnmphelpers etc lib files

When this option (modifying the CFLAGS & LFLAGS as mentioned below) is
combined with --disable-debugging option (used along with ./configure),
the size of the libraries further reduces

Libnetsnmpmibs.a	353 KB
Libnetsnmpagent.a	85 KB
Libnetsnmphelpers.a  83 KB
Libnetsnmp.a	476 KB

In case if the sub-agent code has any DEBUGMSGTL statements, those have
to be commented out.
Otherwise there will be a bunch of statements printed whenever the
subagent is run.

I made these changes in the Makefiles

Remove the -g option from CFLAGS and (no debug information included)
Include -s --static for LDFLAGS

The size of the library files has drastically reduced.
Libnetsnmpmibs.a 533 KB
Libnetsnmpagent.a 113 KB
Libnetsnmphelpers.a 112 KB
Libnetsnmp.a 650 KB

This is with just the following option
./configure --with-perl-modules and then do the above mentioned changes
to the makefiles.

But the Sub-agent (fully functional) I built with these library files is
still of the same size as it used to be with earlier libraries.  

So still my problem is half solved... Not sure why

Regards,
Sri.
