Thanks, Eric. I have solved it by changing the linker from x86_amd64 to amd64.
It's no bother at all but I am afraid I don't have a suitable answer.
When we implemented QuantLibXL the current version of Visual Studio back then was VC9 if I remember correctly. At that time the build times were acceptable. With each new release of Visual Studio the build times have become longer and longer. I suspect that the linker dislikes something about the large number of objects derived from the autogenerated source code but I haven't investigated. The workarounds are not very clever - use bigger hardware, let it run overnight, use a different configuration (some are quicker than others), switch back to an older version of Visual Studio.
When I was implementing the new reposit build I was paying close attention to this problem, the build times were OK and I planned to fix them if they got too slow, but I didn't have time to complete the project.
