MSVC2017 compiler error, Chromium build fails

So I am on:

• Windows 10
• MS Visual Studio 2017 (2017 build tools)

trying to build:

• qt5.10.1 with QtWebEngine
• using jom.exe -j4

and during the QtWebEngine build process, this happened:

I found this forum with a slightly active/recent question asking about this same issue here:

• Internal compiler error in outdname.c in VS15.7p3 when building Firefox webrtc code

Is there anything I can do from this point to fix this?

Downgrading my version of VS to 2015 allowed me to bypass this compiler error and compile QT successfully.
