I think you need to be a bit more explicit about what you are trying to do.

It is the function of a C compiler to convert C language statements into
machine code.
Anything which does this conversion is by definition a C compiler.
For example if you convert the code by hand then -you- are being a C
compiler.
So it is impossible by definition to convert it without a C compiler and
your question is self-contradictory.

So.  Do you want to
a) Write your own C/C++ compiler?
b) See the machine code that the BC++ compiler generates?
c) Get hold of an open-source C/C++ compiler (one that you can perhaps
modify and recompile)?
d) Compile these statements into a freestanding binary module that you can
export to some other system.?
e) Convert these statements into machine code for a different target machine
(known as cross-compiling)?
f) Do something not mentioned here? Please specify.

Of course if the answer is (c) then you don't really need Borland C++ of any
version because the compiler in question would be able to recompile itself,
and so that would make the question somewhat off-topic for this newsgroup.
