These are only the mysql *client* libraries, not the embedded server 
library which is currently shipped as a static only library.

I'd guess it's in:
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqld.a


You may need to install a mysql-static-devel package or something 
similar (or perhaps Fedora do not ship it).

The use of a static library is not ideal. I asked Ian about this the 
other day and he pointed me at (well *he* mentioned, *I* had to go 
looking for it... sheeesh :p) a post from the mysql-internals list 
whereby Monty indicated that future versions of mysql will eventually 
ship a shared library which will be nicer for all of us using it :)
