This morning we had a meeting regarding this flag and it was discussed that setting /LTCG:incremental disables whole program optimization. Also, the binskim output recommends to use /LTCG along with WholeProgramOptimization (/GL).

C:\Users\callumso\dev\npu-driver\build\x64\level_zero\src\level_zero-build\bin\Release\ze_loader.dll: warning BA6006: 'ze_loader.dll' was compiled without Link Time Code Generation (/LTCG). Enabling LTCG can improve optimizations and performance.
For VC projects use WholeProgramOptimization property with 'true' value.

so can you update the PR to not set LTCG with incremental linking, and to also enable WholeProgramOptimization
So the linker flags should be:
/LTCG
/GL
