 By default, an object file can hold up to 65,536 (2^16) addressable
 sections. This is the case no matter which target platform is specified.
 /bigobj increases that address capacity to 4,294,967,296 (2^32).

 Most modules will never generate an .obj file that contains more than
 65,536 sections. However, machine generated code, or code that makes heavy
 use of template libraries may require .obj files that can hold more
 sections.
