Page 370 of the "Advanced Programming Techniques" manual shipped with
Microsoft C version 6.00 incorrectly gives an example of combining the
command-line switches /MT and /FPa. This procedure does not work and
will cause the compiler to generate the following error message:

   Command Line Error D2016: '-MT' and '-FPa' are incompatible

To use the alternate math libraries, you must either create a single
threaded .EXE or a multithreaded DLL. The libraries to create a
multithreaded .EXE are not available.
