--build describes the achitecture you are using to generate the binary
--host describes the architecture the generated binary should run on
--target describes the architecture the generated binary should generate code
         for.

The default value for --target is the value of --host.
The default value for --host is the value of --build.
The default value for --build is the output of config.guess (in the root
directory of Net-SNMP)

--target is only relevant for compilers, so let's forget about that one.

In order to get the correct value for host I would recommend that you copy the
script config.guess to your target system, run it and then adds the option

--host=<output of config.guess when run on your target platform>

to the configure line. Do not add any of --build and --target as the first one
is automatically determined and the second one is irrelevant.

Please see above.

A cross compile happens when the values of --host, --build and --target aren't
equal. Please read the manual for autoconf if you wish to learn more about
this.

Please see above. The output of uname is not what build/host/target expects.
Use config.guess to get the right values.

I can't. Please use config.guess.
