Was this library moved to a different package?
No, it was removed, it has absolutely no use.

I think I have a use for it: I have a home-grown XS library which
provides functionality from a C library to perl. Linking everything
into one binary saves lots of pain when it comes to deployment of
such a program.

Any hints?
Use Shared libraries, there is no reason to use static libperl.

Please remember that with shared libs, you have to recompile on
the host where the final program is to be run. Here is a quote
from perlembed manpage:

! The cardinal rule: COMPILE THE PROGRAMS IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY
! THAT YOUR PERL WAS COMPILED. (Sorry for yelling.)

I have lots of boxes where no compiler is installed at all. Then
there are boxes running a different distro than the development
machine runs. Linking statically into one binary makes life a lot
easier in such situations.
