In the quoted passage above I suspect he was referring to a static/global variable defined in a C header, not a C++ class member static or otherwise.
I'm pretty sure you can define (with storage) global variable in header file both in C and C++. But don't qualify it static in C: this will make it hidden symbol so you will have several instances of the variable but no symbol collision.
