Will PPC 2003 DLL's for SQL CE work on WM5 PPC

Writing an installer to handle switching the DLLs depending on OS version is somewhat of a pain. The SQL CE dlls that we are told to install for PocketPC 2003 and WM5 PPC are different... but I noticed that the 2003 DLLs seam to work fine on a WM5 PPC. Is there a perf hit or some other problems I will run into for doing this that I just haven't hit yet? Will this work for any WM5 PPC?

thanks

This might work, but this is not an officially tested or supported scenario. So we recommend to use the WM5 PPC device bits of SQL Mobile when moving to PPC 2005.

What is the difference in them? I'm assuming one is just compiled for the different processor variant (doesn't that produce a different instruction set)? Does it call any different entry points in new OS functionality?

I'm actually suprised it's not supported or tested. If I ship an app that installs the DLL's before a new variant of the OS comes out... that means it doesn't work on the new OS? I guess this is a difference between XP and CE... backwards compatability is not advertised the same.
