perl_embed_ldflags is currently the difference of

perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts

minus

perl -MConfig -e 'print $Config{ccdlflags}'

In that spirit, the answer would be to find something else in ExtUtils
or Config that we can remove from ldopts.

The list of all candidates can be obtained by

perl -e 'use Config qw(config_sh); print config_sh;'
