SYMPTOMS
When Microsoft LINK creates an overlaid executable file and the linker command line includes the /INC[REMENTAL] option, the linker may create a working executable file and generates one of the following messages:

L4013: Overlays: option ignored for segmented-executable file

L4014: /INCREMENTAL : Option ignored for real mode executable file

If no warning appears, LINK follows an unpredictable execution path. In this case, the executable file may be corrupted and should not be used.



CAUSE
LINK does not support using the /INCREMENTAL switch with overlays because the ILINK.EXE program, invoked by the /INC option, does not support overlays. The linker ignores one of the two options.



RESOLUTION
Microsoft LINK versions 5.3 and later do not support incremental linking.
