commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=64f78043506ae22ee7a25642b7f7cfdd2722d2b6
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

snmp_agent plugin was added in version 5.8.0 by
https://github.com/collectd/collectd/commit/8aba9d6e33dea747e4e27e35457f00c287e2c678

It depends on "struct tree" (from net-snmp/library/parse.h) which is
included if BR2_PACKAGE_NETSNMP_ENABLE_MIBS is set

Fix this error by updating configure.ac to check for get_tree in
addition to init_agent

+Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: fix activation of snmp_agent
+
+If netsnmp library has been built without mib loading support (through
+--disable-mib-loading), build of snmp_agent fails on:
+
+src/snmp_agent.c: In function 'snmp_agent_get_asn_type':
+src/snmp_agent.c:160:47: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'struct tree'
+   return (node != NULL) ? mib_to_asn_type(node->type) : 0;
+
+struct tree is defined in net-snmp/libray/parse.h which is included by
+net-snmp/mib_api.h only if NETSNMP_DISABLE_MIB_LOADING is not set.
+
+To fix this error, check for get_tree function in netsnmp library in
+addition to init_agent in netsnmpagent library
