Interesting. FWIW, this works fine for me on Solaris/Sparc 8/9/10. Not
sure why x86 treats things differently.

Can you please try whether shuffling the order of libnetsnmpagent.[l]a
and libnetsnmphelpers.[l]a around changes things here? Also, do you have
 cc available on this box? If so, does it make a difference if you build
with cc?

The problem is that these five symbols violate the dependency chain (see
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Library_layering). We'd need to
merge libnetsnmpagent and libnetsnmphelpers to fix this, but feel like
this change is too significant for 5.4.x.
