MSVC++ build environment is not the only issue, some parts of the code will not compile or run with
Borland compiler.

Mikhail Soukhanov have a patch to compile omniORB (2.7.1) with Borland C++Builder 4.
I think that C++ Builder uses the same compiler as Borland C++ 5.0 so maybe this patch can be
usefull for you.

have a look at :

http://www.uk.research.att.com./omniORB/contribapp.html#BorlandPort
and
http://astra.relline.ru/devel/omniORB_Borland.html

I have C++Builder and Borland C++ 5, so maybe I can help if you have problems with the patch.
