title: Front end and back end not compatible - get more linker information
body: <p>while building a project in VisualStudio 2012 I get the error message</p>
  
  <pre><code>LINK : fatal error C1905: Front end and back end not compatible (must target same processor).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Checking the project manually does not help, all involved (static) libraries have been built for the same processor. I also added</p>
  
  <pre><code>/VERBOSE:lib and /VERBOSE
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to command line to get some more information but this does not help, only additional output line I got by this was a stupid</p>
  
  <pre><code>Starting pass 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So: any ideas how I can find out what causes this strange error message? How can I get more output from the linker?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
