VC++ 2008 link crash

I am getting the following crash in VC++2008:

Linking...
Embedding manifest...
Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Resource Compiler Version 6.0.5724.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
LINK : fatal error LNK1000: Internal error during IncrBuildImage

It turns out that this a bug of a VC++ 2008 linker, see hotfix 948127 from Microsoft.
