Oh it's easy - you strip most of them out after the file is generated. 
Very easy to do with a post-install sed rule in the build recipe.

The bulk of them are pointless optimisations that aren't really relevant 
when compiling an extension. The main LDFLAGS to preserve are -L/-R and 
-l, and for CFLAGS its -D and -I.

As an example, mysql_config spits out this for CFLAGS:

-I/usr/mysql/5.1/include/mysql  -xprefetch=auto -xprefetch_level=3 -mt 
-fns=no -fsimple=1 -xbuiltin=%all -xlibmil -xlibmopt -xnorunpath 
-DHAVE_RWLOCK_T -DUNIV_SOLARIS

The only thing you really need for extensions to build is the -I bit. 
The rest is Sun Studio pedantry.
