I am starting to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.5.5 and have a simple question.

Can I:
      a. upgrade (patch) all files to 1.5.0 to 1.5.3 to 1.5.5 and then compile
         the library with the 1.3 compiler and library?
  or
      b. upgrade to 1.5.0 and compile a 1.5.0 library with the 1.5.0
         includes so that I then compile the 1.5.3 library with the
         1.5.0 libc.a and 1.5.3 includes, etc...

thanks in advance,
mike
