No, I use the BCB4 IDE to build the whole project. I just include in my
projects the obj files I have created with BCC5.5.1 and as I said, it
sometimes fails but it doesn't seem there is a general rule.

No

Given the trouble I've been having (and am continuing to have, to some
extent) perhaps that's wise :)

you don't want to do that. while C binary compatibilty has been
pretty good (nothing intentionally broken going back as far as I know),
the same can't be said about C++. most of the bigger changes should
result in linker errors since mangling or the names of compiler
helpers are intentionally tweaked, but i wouldn't rely upon that.
