I tracked this down to the ExtUtils::CBuilder module, and there's even a comment in the source code to the same effect:

https://metacpan.org/source/AMBS/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.280234/lib/ExtUtils/CBuilder/Platform/Unix.pm

The fix will involve using CC/CXX (or the link_executable function) in some places where LD (or the link function) is used now. For File-LibMagic, the problem manifests in Config-Autotools, which tries to link against libmagic to ensure that libmagic exists and is usable on the system.

There are several other perl bugs open that can be traced back to the same source, so I intend to dupe them all here.
