Do you have exactly the same compiler version on the two machines?
The compiler behaviour as regards standard compliance changed also 
between minor revisions, e.g. from 5.5.0 to 5.5.1 as well as from 5.6.0 
(out-of-the-box BCB6) to 5.6.1 (BCB6 with Update 2). I believe that 
5.7.0 (Kylix 3) behaves as 5.6.1, but I'm not sure.

Mine is just a guess, but the handling of the 'typename' keyword changed 
from 5.6.0 to 5.6.1 .

Hope this helps,
