Hmm ... on my shiny new netbsd buildfarm animal, I see:

$ perl -MConfig -e 'print "$Config{ccdlflags}"'
-Wl,-E  -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.34.0/powerpc-netbsd-thread-multi/CORE

$ perl -MConfig -e 'print "$Config{ldflags}"'
 -pthread -L/usr/lib -Wl,-R/usr/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib

$ perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
-Wl,-E  -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.34.0/powerpc-netbsd-thread-multi/CORE  -pthread -L/usr/lib -Wl,-R/usr/lib
-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib-L/usr/pkg/lib  -L/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.34.0/powerpc-netbsd-thread-multi/CORE -lperl -lm -lcrypt
-lpthread

So we were *already* stripping the rpath for where libperl.so is,
and now we also strip -L and rpath for /usr/lib (which surely is
pointless) and for /usr/pkg/lib (which in point of fact have to
be added to the PG configuration options anyway).  These Perl
options seem a bit inconsistent ...

I believe that policy only makes sense for distros that expect every
shared library to appear in /usr/lib (or /usr/lib64 perhaps).  Red Hat
for one does that --- but they follow through: libperl.so is there.

I think we're good here, at least till somebody points out a platform
where we aren't.
