I don't really understand this paragraph. If the issue does NOT happen
with php 8.3.x that is in 2025.02.x, then why should the backport be
considered?

As usual, I don't like this approach. If the detection of NetSNMP by
the PHP configure.ac is broken, then it should be fixed rather than
worked around. Could you have a look at doing a proper fix, that can
be submitted upstream?
Thanks a lot!
