Then you should keep looking for it.

From readme.htm you can get the following information (read the part regarding
Q195376):

cut...cut...cut...

The following build issues have been fixed:

Q187280: An incorrect version of Cvtres.exe, used by the linker to convert
resource files into COFF format, caused some multiple-language resources to be
unavailable to the application.

Q192539: A friend << operator would not compile if defined outside the class.

Q194615: Project Deletes Precompiled Header Created by Other Project.

Q195376: When compiling with /Og and /Oa or /Og and /Ow, code might be
incorrectly optimized due to ignoring the scale on an indirection.

For example:
mov         esi,dword ptr [ecx+edx*4]
mov         ecx,dword ptr [ecx+edx]

was incorrectly optimized as follows:

mov         esi,dword ptr [ecx+edx*4]
mov         ecx,esi   // error, because we were actually trying
                      // to load from a different address.

cut....cut....
