FWIW, the original *intention* of --disable-agent wrt. snmptrapd seems
to have been:

[x] build snmptrapd without agent code

See the following snippet from apps/Makefile.in:

# hack for compiling trapd when agent is disabled
TRAPDWITHAGENT = $(USETRAPLIBS) @AGENTLIBS@
TRAPDWITHOUTAGENT = $(LIBS)

But I don't think it ever worked. CVS log of apps/Makefile.in tells the
same interesting story:

----------------------------
revision 5.10
date: 2004/03/09 15:55:39; author: rstory; state: Exp; lines: +12 -3
separate traplibs from agent libs for dependencies
----------------------------
revision 5.9
date: 2004/03/09 00:09:09; author: rstory; state: Exp; lines: +4 -4
use app libs for snmptrapd when agent disabled; move wraplib substitution to
a more reasonable place. snmptrapd still doesn't link, but it's closer...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
----------------------------
revision 5.8
date: 2004/03/04 17:43:19; author: hardaker; state: Exp; lines: +4 -1
- fix building trapd when the agent isn't being built
----------------------------


So should we try to complete what has been started back then?
