Summary:                    [patch] Can't build asterisk using just
--with-netsnmp... seems to always want to use CONFIG_NETSNMP
Description: 
It's issue 15714 all over again, only with netsnmp instead of curl this
time.

If you've built a different version of netsnmp (or patched it) and you
want to build against that, you can't.

Configure will attempt to find net-snmp-config and run that...  which
might not be in any place it will likely be discovered... and ignores where
you've told 'configure' to actually find the headers and libraries.

Yeah, the first example should fail. The second one should work (and does
as far as the patch is concerned). The problem is pretty clear from the
config.log:

uclibc/bin/ld: cannot find -lnetsnmphelpers
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:17736: $? = 1

There is either something wrong with your net-snmp install as it can't
find one of the libraries that net-snmp-config is returning as a value, or
it is possible that the wrong net-snmp-config is being called (though
unlikely since it shows it finding the one you specified at
/home/philipp/kernel/build_i586/root/usr/bin/net-snmp-config).

Can you give me the output of running net-snmp-config --agent-libs (via
the $PATH) and also via the alternate specified location? I want to make
sure that the alternate location is indeed returning -lnetsnmphelpers.
