Il mismatch between 'P1' version '20220421' and 'P2' version '20211117'

Description

Since the 20220814.1 Windows runner update MSVC fails linking MSIL module with LTCG. First I thought, the problem was that the vcpkg bincache was built with an older version, but now vcpkg got an update and the problem persists.
This looks similar to #6091

@matthiakl, Could you please test a workaround - #6091 (comment) ?

Thanks @al-cheb, with the workaround it links successfully again.
