[perl #41587] [PATCH] 5.8.8 make sure we get the proper ldflags on libperl.so

This is a bug report for perl from tcallawa@redhat.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
As part of the review process for Perl, I'm opening bugs for the 
long list of patches to perl that Fedora has been carrying around
(in some cases, for years), in the hopes that these fixes can be
applied upstream. Unfortunately, I am not the original author of 
these patches, so please be patient with me as I attempt to    
describe why Fedora uses them.

This patch is described as "make sure we get the proper ldflags on
libperl.so".
Presumably, without it, the shared object does not get the proper
ldflags.
