I think that it's included inside of libphobos.a now, and has been for a few 
releases. The libraries are still separate, and you can build them separately, 
but from what I can tell, it looks like phobos ends up including the druntime 
stuff in itself when you build it. So, having a separate libdruntime.a would be 
kind of pointless unless you were specifically trying to avoid linking in any 
Phobos stuff, which would be highly abnormal, and in which case you could build 
druntime yourself.

But Sean or someone else who's been involved in that build process may have a 
better answer as to what exactly is going on now and why.

Figures, but I thought I looked in libphobos and didn't see druntime 
symbols.. oh well.

And yeah, it's been a few releases since I've needed to build my own rpms

Well, I haven't actually gone so far as to look at the symbols in the library, 
but there is no libdruntime.a - only a libphobos.a - and it works. And if you 
build phobos, you still need to build druntime first. So, really, the only way 
that it could really work from what I can see is that libphobos.a includes the 
stuff from libdruntime.a in it. Why or how, I don't know.

Since Phobos depends on druntime and both libraries are statically 
linked I think libdruntime.a has never been needed. It's never been 
listed in dmd.conf/ini as far as I know.
