OK - I've grabbed this and tried building it myself.

Nope - ignore that.
It's fairly common when installing source RPMs.

I'm getting something similar:
/usr/bin/strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input file
`/tmp/net-snmp-root/usr/lib/libnetsnmptrapd.a(DynaLoader.a)'
But the build process keeps going anyway.
What O/S, distribution, etc are you working with?

Yup - note where this is failing:
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/bin/strip ....
This is part of the process of packaging up the
compiled-and-installed files into an RPM package.
It's not something that would bite you with a non-RPM
build from source.

Checking the normal RPM build, the configure command
that is invoked includes:
'--with-perl-modules=PREFIX=/tmp/net-snmp-root/usr INSTALLDIRS=vendor'
If you've manually tweaked the configure command to simply
use '--with-perl-module', then it won't be installing the perl
man pages into the location that rpmbuild expects.
I think this is probably a red herring, and you're better off
letting the spec file supply the configure invocation.
As far as your original problem is concerned - have a look at
the script /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive
It may be that you can workaround this problem by setting
the environmental variable STRIP - something like
export STRIP=true
rpmbuild ......
(Or failing that,
edit the brp-strip-static-archive script to add
exit 0;
to the beginning of it!)
