So you're the 2nd. Anyone else? I also wonder whether I overlooked a bug 
report from you.

I checked that gensnmptree does not generated these useless references 
since at least early 2001.

gensnmptree has been a build tool up to Rev. 1.479 of Makefile.inc1. Then 
this was removed by ru with a comment that we don't support upgrades from 
pre-5.3. gensnmptree has not changed since then (at least with regard to 
the bug). Shouldn't it be in cross-tools then?

I've set a Cc: to ru. Maybe he can comment.
