This is a resubmit. Configure currently hard-wires ld_shared to a
GNU-binutils-specific value of '-shared'. This is wrong. The correct
value should be available from perl5's $Config{lddlflags}.
I have been told that some perl5 ports (cygwin?) have wrong values for
$Config{lddlflags}. If so, those ports should be fixed over on
perl5-porters. In the meantime, platform-specific hints can be used to
override the wrong value. For most users, however, using the correct
value from perl5's Config is probably the correct thing to do.
