You're right, DLL-phobia made my thinking less than precise.

The other things I could think of might not apply in this case:
- Routines accessing the elements of FILE* directly. I though library 
designers had learned not to export this, but stdio.h still shows it and 
some macros from that header file might use it (a problem only if the 
definitions in MSC 6 and MSC 7.1 differ)
- calling conventions: in the past, that was a problem mostly with 
functions returning structs. (Meaning caller and callee would implement 
it differently if they were compiled by different compilers)
