RE: VS 2022 version 17.9.1 has a bug preventing building cli_ure

[Vasily Melenchuk <Vasily.Melenchuk@xxxxxx>]

New version of Visual Studio 17.10.0 has exactly the same issue again. 
Do not hurry with update.

	LINK : error LNK2034: metadata inconsistent with COFF symbol table: symbol '?	rtl_ustr_asciil_reverseEquals_WithLength@@$$J0YAEPEB_SPEBDJ@Z' (06000589) has inconsistent metadata with 	(0A000A14) in climaker_emit.o

yes, it works again with VS 2022

btw: i had a build break after a "clean build":

cd /cygdrive/d/sources/libo-core
./g checkout master
./g fetch --tags
./g pull -r

/opt/lo/bin/make clean gb_COLOR=1 gb_TITLES=1
