[Scons-users] How to handle MSVC when on 64 bit and TARGET_ARCH isn't specified

[Brady Johnson]

That seems like a logical decision. If the TARGET_ARCH hasnt been
specified, then first try for the compiler that matches the "bit-ness" of
the architecture. If there isnt one then try for the compiler with less
"bit-ness" than the architecture.

Regards,

Brady
