The first thing that springs out about that list is that it doesn't mention
any of the Net-SNMP libraries. So you are successfully statically
linking with *those*, at least.

Also, this list is significantly shorter than the usual list on my Fedora box
(which includes 30-odd libraries).

So I suspect that you *are* statically linking as much as possible.
My guess is that the libraries listed above are the ones where the
static (.a) version is not installed on your system. So the agent
has linked against the dynamic version, 'cos there's nothing else
to use.

I'm not sure how Ubuntu/Debian structures its packages, but if there
are '-devel' versions of the relevant packages, it might be worth
installing those, and re-compiling the agent.
