It's possible, but it becomes too much, I think.  PERL_EXT_LDFLAGS can
be justified as some setting dependent on the local system
configuration.  But -no-undefined is a general MS-Windows thing, it's
IMO wrong to expect users to specify something that should always be
used on Windows.

I wonder if libtool has some magic switch that will result in it doing
TRT.  Some special mode= mode, perhaps, or some switch to it?  Can
libtool people help us out here?

Thanks.
