Well, "mib2c" isn't strictly a compiler - it's
really more of a code generator. And to answer
the question in the subject, these code files
*do* require a compiler before they can be run.
The flow of activity is as follows:
+-------+ +-----+
MIB --> | mib2c | -> *.[ch] -> | gcc | -> agent
file +-------+ +-----+ module
It's that last "agent module" that is what's run
(either linked into the main agent binary, loaded
dynamically or as part of a subagent).

I'm sorry - I don't understand what you mean.
The .c and .h files are simply C code.
Whether the agent module uses Position Independent Code
or not, depends purely on how you compile them.
The source code is unaffected by this.
