The following error occurs:
LINK : fatal error LNK1246: '/DYNAMICBASE:NO' not compatible with 'ARM64' target machine; link without '/DYNAMICBASE:NO
This seems to be a deliberate restriction for Arm64 targets. However, no references were provided. To clarify, I have posted a question [1] on the community channel of Visual Studio.

Why does it not allow that? Is that just a limitation of the compiler? If yes, what is the error happening? This question is not exactly answered yet as of this thread. I may be missing a reference about that in the upstream docs, but I see nowhere an explanation about the reason and the why. That's also one of the first questions from Thomas upthread. -- Michael
