Hello,
When I'm attempting to compile Firefox with Intel C++ 15 Update 1 and Visual Studio 2010 I fall into the following error:
1:01.09 ../../widget/windows/nsWindowGFX.obj: file not recognized: File format not recognized 1:01.09 gfx_linker: catastrophic error: command 'ld.exe' exited with non-zero exit code 1
This seems to occur because code generation for Intel Graphics Technology (IGT) seems to use binutils and that doesn't seem to support windows object (.obj) files.
Is IGT code generation on by default? Is it possible to disable it?
Here is the command line used where this fails:

And the compiler flags I use:
-O2 -Qip- -fp:precise -w
