net-snmp-config --cflags outputs this:

   -DNETSNMP_ENABLE_IPV6 -g -O2 -g -Wall -O2 -DNETSNMP_USE_INLINE -Ulinux 
-Dlinux=linux -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe 
-I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 
-I/usr/lib/perl/5.10/CORE -I. -I/usr/include

But neither is /usr/lib/perl/5.10/CORE required to link against the
net-snmp libraries, it also makes it impossible to build the SNMP perl
module from cpan or other modules linking against the net-snmp libraries,
as they get the header files from a different perl (the debian perl).

effects range from crashes during make test to subtle data corruption at 
runtime.

the fix is to simply not include /usr/lib/perl/5.10/CORE in the exported
header files - they are probably only required for building the librraies
themselves.
