The build problem you ran into is just the tip of the iceberg. The biggest problem IMO is that originally sources were generated using a script from net-snmp package.

So another trick to send a patch is to attach it to an e-mail sent to the list. > > My second enquiry relates to the org OID used in the LIBVIRT-MIB.

Yes, the registration did not go through. In fact it hadn't even started. Again, any patch is more than welcome.
