So add something like #if _MSC_VER == 1200 ... #endif so its only added where it was historically needed

I have Visual Studio 6.0 and I have an ActiveState build of perl-5.16.0 that was built with Visual Studio 6.0.
I see exactly the same behaviour when I run my Inline::C script on that build of perl, using Visual Studio 6.0.

I can't see that the inclusion of that static declaration would ever have been anything other than a fatal build-time error.
And yet, DBD::Pg-3.8.0 (which includes that static declaration) ships with latest Strawberry Perl.
Did Strawberry Perl developers remove that declaration in order to build DBD::Pg ?
Could someone check http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/perl-modules-patched/ and see if there's any mention of patches to DBD::Pg. (I'm unable to access that page.)

Cheers,
Rob
