Yeah, I know this scenario, it's a bit dodgy.  The tests are run even on 
non-Windows platforms because they don't actually use the MSVC tools 
(cl.exe, etc.) themselves, just fiddle text. But then they run into the 
WIndows-specific test for architecture strings that are correct for 
Windows, which then no longer make sense.
