How can I avoid exceeding the internal ILK size limit in visual studio?

Question

Building a large project in Visual Studio 2005, I am getting an error in incremental linking:

LINK : fatal error LNK1210: exceeded internal ILK size limit; link with /INCREMENTAL:NO

Do you know of any options other than avoiding incremental linking? In particular, are there practices that will reduce the size of the internal ILK data?

Answer 1

Try to add /LTCG flag to the linker

Answer 2

/LTCG is not valid for use with /INCREMENTAL according to MSDN.
