Actually, looking closer, isn't the problem that you've stuck a
function call into the midst of declarations?  Some compilers
will allow that, but it's not valid C90.  You probably just need
to move the call down past "EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION".

Microsoft's own documentation contradicts that:

So I'm not sure why the undefined-function results on frogmouth
and jacana, although I notice they are using gcc not MSVC.
Unless someone has a better idea, I'd suggest working around
that like so:

#ifdef WIN32
#ifdef _MSC_VER                /* requires MSVC */  _configthreadlocale(_ENABLE_PER_THREAD_LOCALE);
#endif
#endif
