Linkage error when compiling natively on x86_64-pc-windows-msvc #821
Description
Problem:
Hi! It's me again 🙇
Since about an hour ago, rustup's CI pipeline (rust-lang/rustup#4105) has been blocked by a failed x86_64-pc-windows-msvc CI workflow, and it looks like a linker warning produced by aws-lc-rs (rust-lang/rustup#4374 (comment)) with the following log:
Log
error: linking with `link.exe` failed: exit code: 4099

However I don't see any new release from your side; could it be that the toolchain version has been silently updated?
Anyway, many thanks in advance for your investigation!
