Visual Studios Link.exe error: "extra operand"

Question

Our build process uses Visual Studios 2003 link.exe for linking. On one machine we're seeing the following error:

_X86_Win32/Debug/Intermediate/OurApp.exe LINK: extra operand `/subsystem:windows' Try `LINK --help' for more information

It appears to be using the same version of visual studios as the other machines. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

Answer 1

It looks like there's a copy of the GNU link utility somewhere in the search path. This message isn't from the Microsoft linker.
