I am not knowledgeable in this area at all. I really can not comment on this.
Based on the meeting we had, I was under the impression they would prefer not
to use "configure" as part of the build sequence. Perhaps using "configure"
outside of the build sequence to simply obtain changed files which could then
be incorporated into the build sequence would be possible, if this is what you
are recommending.
I do not think it has anything to do with not trusted the build procedure, but
has more to do with building our environment might not allow for a "configure"
script to run and completely execute perhaps? I do not know. I am sure it
has nothing to do with not trusting the build of "configure" though.

Yes!
You could perhaps set up the 'Makefile' and net-snmp-config.h files
manually, but you'd need to run configure once first, to find out the
appropriate settings.
I suppose you could run "make" (and "make install") manually once,
and capture the output. That output could then be used as a script
to compile and install the software (having first been validated by
your build production people).
That might be acceptable to your company, but it feels like a lot
of unnecessary work. If you don't trust the build procedure, why
would you trust the code itself?
How do they usually deal with installing open-source software?
