To correct myself - I just revisited

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102697/en-us

which says that the -Yl is needed only when creating pch (with -Yc
switch), and that this works only for 32bit compilers.

For 64bit, it seems that -Yd switch is the only remaining option,
although the support page says it is "less desirable because it
generally produces large object modules that can increase the time
required to link the application".
