Another question is whether to use something other than bundle for XS, to
allow prebinding. I have a patch to dl_dyld.xs that seems to work; it
allows both bundle and dyld (thanks to some pointers from wsanchez).

Then, instead of using -bundle, I used -dynamiclib. However, when I tried
to add -prebind I got a bunch of errors, and then I ran out of time to mess
with it. :-) But perhaps worth:
1. doublechecking my work :)
2. including it in perl's DynaLoader as an option for XS developers, even if
-bundle is still the default
