Description
When you try to compile anything with MSVC600, it will fail with:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "TEMPFILE"
Note that just compiling will work, but compiling and linking (or just linking) will fail. I asked Claude to get me a workaround for this issue here, but it is only an ugly hack.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure by compiling and linking with MSVC600, noting that compilation alone succeeds while linking fails with LNK1104 for TEMPFILE. Inspect Wibo's handling of the MSVC600 linker and compare it with workaround commit 598e3a9da74336089b49c6c41963fb0857e640a2. Done means linking succeeds without the workaround hack.
