I fixed a number of things in how sma_snmp/net-snmp was being built, because they conflicted with SVN. One of the things I did was remove the obviously wrong -R../lib. I can't claim to have fixed everything. In general, generated *-config scripts and arguments recorded in libtool .la files can leave lots to be desired. I really dislike the *-config scripts, but I did notice that some packages depend on them when building, to get info on others they depend on.
It would be a good idea to document all such issues in SFW and figure out a way to properly fix them. - Frank
