  Borland and Microsoft have chosen two different name-mangling schemes for
  symbols. As you mention, this is unfortunate as it makes linking to .LIB
  libraries (as opposed to libraries where the source is provided) impossible
  if the library was built with the "wrong" version.

  With luck, a standard DOS/Win/OS-2 name-mangling will evolve. Until
  then, one will have to have sources to libraries, or compiler-vendor-dependent
  .LIB files (bleargh...)

Let's assume that a standard name-mangling exists.  You're still in the soup
unless object layout (alignment rules, location of vptrs, size of vtbls, etc)
is identical and calling conventions are identical.
