I upgraded from DMD 2.074.1 (!) to 2.077.1 and tried to compile

full error message:
fatal error C1905: Front end and back end not compatible (must
target same processor).
LINK : fatal error LNK1257: code generation failed
Error: linker exited with status 1257
dmd failed with exit code 1257.
No such problems with my previous DMD version.
What has changed with linking since then? (Skimmed through
changelogs but found nothing).
I found a workaround with specifying LINKCMD64 to my VS 2017
linker, but this is not a viable solution. The project must
build with DMD on any system with VS installed without me
knowing its exact location.
What can I do to make it run out of the box and without the
link command specified?
Yah the sc.ini file is wrong for Environment64.
[Environment64]
LIB="%@P%\..\lib64"
