Ah right.

From blead's INSTALL document:

  Currently, for most systems, the main perl executable is built by
  linking the "perl library" libperl.a with perlmain.o, your static
  extensions (usually just DynaLoader.a) and various extra libraries,
  such as -lm.

I guess that should be updated. But maybe for maint you'd wish to
revert that change.
