Jayson, there has been a discussion about 32-bit and 64-bit kernels about 3 months ago in the net-snmp-coders list (even if it didn't concern AIX but instead IRIX I think the same problem applies here too). The thread's topic was "rfc: handle platform specifics at runtime vs. compile time?".
You compiled the net-snmp agent at a machine running a 32-bit kernel I think - at least you tested it there. With 64-bit AIX that apparently don't work (there is an error message concerning nlist() in the truss file you posted). I cannot say whether the current net-snmp code is AIX 64-bit aware such that compiling it under a 64-bit kernel will do the trick. In general all calls to nlist() are to be mapped to an equivalent function (probably nlist64()) for the 64-bit kernel. Note that the decision what function will be used for inspecting kernel structures is made during configure and compilation and not when starting the net-snmp agent.
