We just updated to from 5.4.1 to 5.7.1 and ran into problems linking the snmpd executable.
 
We configured SNMP using the following options:
 
./configure \
                --host=mipsel-linux-uclibc \
               --with-logfile="/var/log/snmpd.log" \
                --with-persistent-directory="/var/net-snmp" \
                --with-default-snmp-version="2" \
                --with-sys-contact="contact" \
                --with-sys-location="location" \
                --with-cflags="-g -x c" \
                --with-ldflags="-x none" \
                --disable-embedded-perl \
                --without-perl-modules \
                --disable-manuals \
                --disable-scripts \
                --disable-mibs \
                --disable-mib-loading \
                --without-openssl \
                --disable-des \
                --disable-privacy \
                --disable-md5 \
                --disable-static \
                --disable-snmptrapd-subagent
 
With 5.7.1 we get the following link errors:

We noticed the snmpd rule changed in the snmp/masteragent/netsnmp/net-snmp/agent/Makefile.in file.
 
net-snmp-5.4.1 Makefile.in:
 

snmpd$(EXEEXT):  ${LAGENTOBJS} $(USELIBS) $(AGENTLIB) $(HELPERLIB) $(MIBLIB) $(LIBTARG)
  $(LINK) $(CFLAGS) ${LDFLAGS} -o $@ ${LAGENTOBJS} $(LOCAL_LIBS) ${OUR_AGENT_LIBS}
 
net-snmp-5.7.1 Makefile.in:
 

snmpd$(EXEEXT):  ${LAGENTOBJS} $(USELIBS) $(AGENTLIB) $(MIBLIB) $(LIBTARG) 
  $(LINK) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ ${LAGENTOBJS} $(LOCAL_LIBS) ${LDFLAGS} ${OUR_AGENT_LIBS}
 
So in 5.4.1, ${LDFLAGS} comes right after $(CFLAGS), and in 5.7.1, ${LDFLAGS} is after $(LOCAL_LIBS).
 
We are not sure why this rule change was made, but in order for the masteragent to build and link correctly with mipsel-uclibc-g++,  we had to change the rule to :
 

snmpd$(EXEEXT):  ${LAGENTOBJS} $(USELIBS) $(AGENTLIB) $(MIBLIB) $(LIBTARG) 
  $(LINK) $(CFLAGS) ${LDFLAGS} -o $@ ${LAGENTOBJS}  $(LOCAL_LIBS) ${OUR_AGENT_LIBS}
 
For what itآ’s worth, same problem happens when we try to build using gcc g++ compiler for x86 (from a native Fedora install), so this is not mipsel-uclibc specific.
 
Could you please enlighten us as to why this snmpd rule change was made, and why the 5.7.1 rule does not work for us?
 
Thanks,
 
Elicia
