Feel free to ask me for testing code on AIX4.3.3 Powerpcs.
But I have to say I am not a natural c coder and only have little

If you've never built and installed the Net-SNMP project before,
this would not be an appropriate starting point.
I'm assuming that you have built and installed Net-SNMP project before.
Get the sources from CVS, following the instructions at
   http://www.net-snmp/org/cvs/

From what the bug list shows, Net-SNMP "configure" does not kindly
create the include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h file on AIX.
After you've run "./configure ...",  change any occurrence of
 TWO double quote characters to ONE double quote characters.
   -- cut here --
    #!/bin/sh
    rm -f config.out make.out install.out
    ./configure --with-defaults --with-mib-modules="host" \
     > config.out 2>&1 ; echo $?
    sed -e 's/""/"/g' include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h > 1
    mv -f 1 include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h
    make > make.out 2>&1 ; echo $?
    make install > install.out 2>&1 ; echo $?
   -- cut here --
Consult the archives to know which configure options are suitable
for AIX.  I don't personally know them.  Sorry !
In my experience, you MUST build both OpenSSL and Net-SNMP static. 
Otherwise you run into problems with duplicate symbols in some of the 
native AIX libraries causing the wrong shared library to be loaded which 
is a 100% reliable means of getting core dumps.
