Option
/NOE[[XTDICTIONARY]]
The /NOE option prevents the linker from searching extended dictionaries, which are lists of symbol locations in libraries created with LIB. The linker consults extended dictionaries to speed up library searches.
Using /NOE slows the linker. Use this option when you are redefining a symbol or function defined in a library and you get the error
L2044 symbol multiply defined, use /NOE
