[dev] Serious problem with snmp!

Hi
1. I installed net-snmp 5.7.3 on Ubuntu 1704 (but the following problem was
observed on many versions of Ubuntu like 1604, 1404)
2. Then I configure FRR3 with *--enable-snmp=agentx* switch!
As i think, this switch is necessary for the purpose of accessing routing
MIBs which must be responsed by zebra.
3. Now, I make FRR and see the following error
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/theuser/frr/FRR3'
  CLIPPY   ospfd/ospf_vty_clippy.c

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/theuser/frr/FRR3'

Note that:
If net-snmp was not installed, there was no error when making FRR, BUT a
similar error was raised when trying to make net-snmp after frr !!!

If i disable --enable-snmp=agentx there is no error! But the system will
not respond to snmp requests that ask for routing information.
