D'oh! I was looking at 5.8.0.

Damned if I know, I've never built a staticly linked Perl before.

No, at least not on non-VMS. installperl normally just grabs
*.h and a few other things from the top of the perl source directory.
Look around lines 365-385 in installperl. There's special code from
VMS which takes the files from lib/<arch>/<ver>/CORE/ instead. This is
built when perl is built. Look around lines 1240-1400 in
vms/descrip_mms.template. That temp CORE directory doesn't appear to be
used for anything else.
