missing MODEND record; file is invalid or corrupt

invalid or corrupt file: duplicate comdat comdat
An object module contained two or more COMDATs with the same name. One possible cause is if
you use the Visual C++ /H option with the Visual C++ /Gy option. The /H option limits the length of
external names, and the /Gy option packages functions in COMDATs.
