Also as I wrote dependencies on DM C++ compiler source are removed in (not merged yet) pull #4:

This is not what happens when you run `build.bat` as the failing target is `OS2LNK` from `optdll.mak`. But running `build_optlink.bat` really makes `OPTLINK` target from `optdll.mak`, triggers your proposed line and works fine, so I'm happy now as I'm able to build the linker.

But why is there `build.bat`, what does it build and why does it fail?

I see now that one have to run `build_optlink.bat`, not `build.bat`. And it wasn't obvious to me and no one told me it or at least to carefully read pull #2 description...

Also make sure to get imagecfg.exe to avoid hangs when running
Optlink. See https://github.com/DigitalMars/optlink/pull/2#issuecomment-13684595

It works now! Thanks be to God!

Optlink Issue 7139 now looks like this (with Optlink pulls #4+#5+#6):
