Looking into it a bit further, both ExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts and
python-config --ldflags put the libs at the end, so we should be able to
parse the output of those and take only the parts we need for each
component.  How about something like this instead?

[PATCH] Refresh of Ozan Çağlayan's patch: perf tools: Fix linking errors
with --as-needed flag:

External shared libraries should never be appended to the LDFLAGS as
this messes the linking order. As EXTLIBS collects those libraries,
it seems that perl and python libraries  should also be appended
to EXTLIBS.

Also fix the broken linking order.

v2: add commands to separate out LDFLAGS and libs from both Perl and
Python LDOPTS (Tom Zanussi)
