How to avoid long startup delay waiting for /dev/random?

After upgrading a small embedded system's net-snmp from 5.7.3 to 5.8,
snmpd now takes a _long_ time to start up. Snmpd used to start
"instantly", but now it blocks on /dev/random for as long as 3-5
minutes. This holds up my entire system startup unacceptably.

Is there any way to avoid this disruptive behavior?
