No, it was just linked in to the final octave executable.

I've just made some changes to do what you suggest.  Now there is no
need for Octave to link with kpathsea, because all of the kpathsea
objects are now included in both the static and shared versions of
liboctave.  We'll see whether that change causes any trouble.
I still want to remove kpathsearch from Octave at some point, but that
will have to wait a while.
