If by RTL you mean shareable image, you do certainly get that with John
Malmberg's latest curl kit:

$ analyze/image/header sys$common:[gnv.usr.lib]gnv$libcurl.exe

Analyze Image                                 1-JAN-2016 08:19:11.10 
                                                Page 1
SYS$COMMON:[gnv.usr.lib]gnv$libcurl.exe;1
ANALYZ I01-55

This is an OpenVMS IA64 (Elf format) shareable image file
