The overridden xs_c rule specified in Makefile.PL is broken.  It explicitly sets -I paths to the core perl lib directories.  This prioritizes them in @INC, which can break the xsubpp program (from site or elsewhere) as it will load the core ExtUtils::ParseXS module, rather than the one matching the xsubpp program.
