/usr/bin/ld2 is a wrapper script that calls /usr/bin/perlld which is
another wrapper script that adds all those extra parameters if it
detects that a library is being linked.  So yet another workaround would
be to edit perlld and change "my $CC = 'gcc'" to g++.

Maybe you should try the current perl 5.10 where all these crufty
wrapper scripts are gone and it should work without any hacks.
