... the generated lib file libperl514.a size is 0 byte

Yes, it should be a bit bigger than that ;-)

My 64-bit strawberry portable (5.16.0.1 #1 Tue May 22 13:24:11 2012 x64) is in C:/_64/Strawberry516, so I 'cd' to that folder and double click on 'portableshell.bat'.
That opens up a shell for me and, in that shell, I 'cd' to C:/_64/perl1400/bin - which is where my ActivePerl perl514.dll is located.
I then run the commands that I posted earlier and end up with an 859KB libperl514.a.
Full transcript follows: 
----------------------------------------------
 Welcome to Strawberry Perl Portable Edition!
 * URL - http://www.strawberryperl.com/
 * see README.portable.TXT for more info
----------------------------------------------
Perl executable: C:\_64\strawberry516\perl\bin\perl.exe
Perl version   : 5.16.0

C:\_64\strawberry516>cd \_64\perl1400\bin

C:\_64\perl1400\bin>gendef perl514.dll
 * [perl514.dll] Found PE+ image

C:\_64\perl1400\bin>dlltool --kill-at --input-def perl514.def --output

If I wanted to use that libperl514.a with EU::FC I would have to move it to C:/_64/perl1400/lib/CORE.

Can you see any reason that the same procedure has not worked for you ?
(I can't, but I'm a little further away than you are :-)

Cheers,
Rob
