I don't have any recent experience mixing and matching files from different
compilers on Windows.
However I do know that the Microsoft compilers, and by the looks of it the
Borland compiler, treat memcpy, memcmp, etc. as intrinisic unless you turn
those optimizations off. They also have #pragma intrinsic to force this
behaviour.
Cheers,
Martin Kenny.
