sdk: .NET Core SDK 3.1.200 breaks build which is using GitVersionTask

Using GitVersionTask 5.1.2 with CoreWCF builds successfully with .NET Core SDK 3.1.101, but when the SDK was updated by a recent VS update, it broke the build. I have also tried GitVersion 5.1.3 and the latest 5.2.3 with the same result. Reinstalling .NET Core SDK 3.1.101 (as VS updater removes it) and adding a global.json file to specify using that version of the SDK results in the build succeeding again. Here is the error message I get from the build:

Can you try a dotnet build-server shutdown before the run with changed ENV var to make sure there are no leftover msbuild nodes?

@onyxmaster Thanks! This appears to have been fixed in Fody 6.0.4, probably by https://github.com/Fody/Fody/commit/7f4f425692b23fb5520312418d5642566ccc7577. I was able to get your repro working by forcing an updated ref:

diff --git a/Independent.csproj b/Independent.csproj

FYI @simoncropp.

@rainersigwald, just an FYI using assembly load context will break anyone who is using XmlSerializer or DataContractSerializer. It will break anyone who if using RefEmit and referencing types loaded in the ALC.
