I think everyone feels my pain, and at the moment, life is too short to re-implement snmp. Net-snmp code can only be describe as how not to write an application and how not to write documentation.

Anyways... I had already done the following and created the pdu record:
   function SNMP_Synch_Response (Session : access snmp_Session; PDU : access snmp_pdu; Response : System.Address) return Interfaces.C.int;
   pragma Import (C, SNMP_Synch_Response, "snmp_synch_response");

I'll still look...
