Agreed on rejecting -mmacosx-version-min, but I wonder if we should
think about adopting a whitelist-instead-of-blacklist approach to
adopting stuff from perl_embed_ldflags. ISTR that in pltcl we already
use the approach of accepting only -L and -l, and perhaps similar
strictness would serve us well here.
As an example, on a not-too-new MacPorts install, I see
$ /opt/local/bin/perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
-L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -fstack-protector-strong
-L/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.28/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE-lperl
I can't see any really good reason why we should allow perl
to be injecting that sort of -f option into the plperl build,
and I'm pretty dubious about the -headerpad_max_install_names
bit too.
I think also that this would allow us to drop the weird dance of
trying to subtract ccdlflags.
