Another issue: $Config{static_ext} is defined as Win32CORE. The problem is that any use of ExtUtils::Embed then requires Win32CORE; its bootstrap call is included by xsinit and the static library added to ldopts, resulting in the w32_* functions being exported by any EU::E module. Where this really breaks things is where a EU::E module is linked with libtool (as in gnumeric's perl-loader plugin): the xsinit-generated code calls boot_Win32CORE() but libtool will drop any static link libraries when creating a shared library/module, meaning the link fails with an unresolved reference to said function. AFAICS, static_ext should be empty; packages which actually need the w32_* symbols can add Win32CORE as an argument to the EU::E functions.
