I took a quick look, and it maybe the command line length.  The link.exe 
line is 35906 chars long.   CMake is not going through the shell but 
using the CreateProcess function.  There maybe some limit on that.   I 
will continue to try and figure this out.  It maybe that the extra 
/MANIFESTFILE:QtVivoxSDK.dll.intermediate.manifest 
QtVivoxSDK.dll.embed.manifest.res  added to your link line for handling 
of incremental linking and manifests was the straw that broke the camels 
back.  That extra stuff was not added in 2.4.

In the mean time, I would recommend that you use add_library to create a 
static library that the executable links against.  That should fix the 
problem and work for 2.4 and 2.6.
