Strange... this problem has come up before, but it was fixed. The
problem is that somewhere there is/was a reference to COPKG32.OBJ
(second character: letter O) where it should be C0PKG32.OBJ (second
character: digit 0 = zero; This file is in your BCB lib directory).

Are you sure you haven't got any old IBO files around? Probably not,
if this is your first time.

Anyway, here's the solution: use the Windows search function
(case-insensitively) to find any files within your IBO tree that
contain the string "copkg32". Open those files (probably just one) in
a text editor, find the occurrences, and change the letter o/O to
digit 0. Then rebuild IBO40EDT_C5. If it still doesn't work, delete
everything (including IBO libraries placed in $(BCB)\Projects\Lib and
$(BCB)\Projects\Bpl), do a fresh unzip of the IBO archive and rebuild.

BTW: I thought 4.3Aa was the latest version. Just checked archives
4.3A and 4.3Aa and they don't contain this error.
