It's from Net-SNMP, and it looks like that may have been compiled with
the Sun C compiler, since GCC usually uses a different format for
architecture-specific libraries:

configure:24694: checking for Net-SNMP cflags
configure:24704: result: -Dsolaris_2 -xarch=v9 -Dsolaris2 -I. -I/usr/sfw/include
configure:24708: checking for Net-SNMP libs
configure:24718: result: -R../lib/sparcv9 -xarch=v9
-L/usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9 -lnetsnmp -lgen -lpkcs11 -lkstat -lelf -lm -ldl
-lnsl -lsocket -ladm

Not pretty, but that works. If you don't need SNMP support, you can
use "--without-snmp" the next time you build.
