It’s not needed. We dropped it in Alchemy when adding 64-bit support, and it 
continues to run fine. /FIXED:NO just ensures that code can be position 
independent. Maybe at some point this was needed a long time ago for apr 
hijinks or Windows98 compatibility or something of that nature, but you can 
safely remove it.

I'm working with Nat Linden on the 64 bit viewer build and we've been 
encountering an odd error - A number of projects in 64 bit only configurations 
have an entry for "Force Includes" files set to XED:NO.  Nothing on Google so 
we were stumped for a while but eventually tracked it down to a number of lines 
in CMakeLists.txt files of the form: add_definitions(/FIXED:NO). Evidently, /FI 
is the compiler command to include a forced header file - hence the XED:NO 
entry. You can see one here: 
https://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer64/src/3f7ba2a06e5cea596e3a4006d57e3fbc4703d90f/indra/llcommon/CMakeLists.txt?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#CMakeLists.txt-248

The FIXED command is evidently for the linker and not the compiler but I'm not 
sure (a) if it's needed or (b) if it is, how to direct it at the right place.

Has anyone else encountered this and already and figured it out?
