I've analysed this further and the cause seems to be that it bcc 5.5 complains about taking the address of a structure that doesn't have a complete definition.
For example the following wont compile: typedef struct FOO_st FOO; extern FOO bar; FOO *pbar; pbar = &bar; but it has no problems on other compilers. There are several possible workarounds for this. One is to include the complete definition whenever &some_item is used, another is to change things so some_item is of type ASN1_ITEM * instead of ASN1_ITEM. However the easiest is to use the same options as VC++ which has an unrelated problem with initializing structures containing pointers to structures in DLLs. If you add EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN in the BCC-32 entry in Configure as in the VC-WIN32 entry it seems to compile OK and passes all the tests. I'll check in this fix soon.
