Good so far.

First, why do you use this workaround ? At least for gcc, .rc files 
should be processed by a null action, so adding "Version.rc" to the 
source list should work.  If this does not work for one of your 
platform, please tell us which.

What is in this ? Does it work with a minimal testcase (one .cpp and a 
.rc file ?

Else good so far.

Please provide the exact command line next time. This looks like a x64 
build with address-model=64.

A runnable test case (as stated above) would be helpful.

I'm sorry, but without something I can extract and run, I'm out of 
thoughts...

Yours,
