Almost certainly true. The Net-SNMP build configuration mechanism has grown incrementally over the years, to a point where it strikes fear into the bones of even the most resilient programmer! We've been wanting to improve things for some time, but have never had the strength of purpose to actually address this herculean task. However, over the last few weeks, we have finally started to do something about this nightmare. The initial work has concentrated on simplifying and clarifying the organisation of configure script. If you have a look at the main development branch of the code, you can see where we've got to so far. If you are interested in improving the build environment, then this is probably the best starting point. I don't think any of the core developers would claim to be autoconf experts, so we would be delighted to take advantage of (and shamelessly exploit) anyone with a fuller understanding of these issues.
