In case anyone else ever runs into this 'mystifying' problem in getting net-snmp to build in a cygwin environment -- I FOUND THE SOLUTION! ...and will be selling it on E-Bay.. :-) Just kidding!
The problem was that the directory I was building from on my Win2k box was in a path with s p a c e s in the path: "cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/dougm", and libtool could not build the filespecs appropriately (at least I *think* it was libtool). I figured it out by manually running failed command and adding -d to the libtool command. The output looked... well... wrong. Once I relocated the build environment to a 'safe' directory with no spaces in the path (/tmp) and redefined $HOME just to be safe, the build *worked*. So -- there you have it. Something for the release notes. It only took me a YEAR to figure this out.
