FWIW, I just discovered that it does not fully work in 2.2.4 either  
(or 2.3.1, for that matter). This does not compile:

$cat tt.pp
{$mode objfpc}

type
  tc = class
    class procedure a; cdecl; static;
    class procedure b; cdecl; static;
  end;

class procedure tc.a; cdecl; static;
begin
  writeln('a');
end;


class procedure tc.b; cdecl; static;
begin
  a;
end;

begin
  tc.b;
end.

$ fpc -St tt.pp

I.e., you cannot call one static class method from inside another one  
(removing the "static" makes it compile).
