Hm actually the PERL_EMBED_LDOPTS may contain LDFLAGS and LIBADD according to distribution's perl package configuration's goodness/badness. On my system the return value is crap which bloats the linking process:
-rdynamic -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i686-linux-thread-multi/CORE -fstack-protector -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i686-linux-thread-multi/CORE -lperl -lpthread -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc
PYTHON_EMBED_LDOPTS evaluates python-config --ldflags and adds these to ALL_LDFLAGS. (--libs and --ldflags are synonyms for python-config). According to python-config this code *never* returns LDFLAGS so it's safe to put them in EXTLIBS.
So the cure may be more than this patch for perl stuff, but at least it fixes my linking problems with -Wl, --as-needed.
