Use linker option --no_sym_merge. The resulting COFF executable may be a bit larger, but the link will finish much faster.
The customer has a COFF program with DWARF information in it. To cut down on the executable COFF file size, the linker tries to compact the DWARF information. Compaction is unnecessary in ELF executable files because duplicate DWARF information is removed through another mechanism. This compaction is much slower in more recent versions of the linker.
