What is it that you're static-linking to the CRT?
I see from your perl -V output:

that you've built perl with the -MD option (for dynamic-linking the
MSVCR*.dll) [and, indeed, that's the only option available in perl's
win32/Makefile], so EU::MM just assumes that when you're building XS
extensions you're using the same build options.
I'm not even sure I understand how you've told EU::MM to static-link the
CRT. I thought if you're using EU::MM to build anything then it just
automatically uses the perl build options. Can we see a sample Makefile
that exhibits the problem?
I'm also always slightly uneasy about mix'n'match-ing different CRTs. If
one component (exe/dll) is built using MSVCR*.dll, then I'd always
prefer all the other components to do likewise, rather than having some
others built with LIBC.lib or whatever.
Is it possible for you to build everything with -MD, like EU::MM is
expecting anyway?
