Yes, it doesn't work, because it requires cl.exe to be used in a specific way (only a single input file, specific output file naming). Which would require a decent amount of changes to src/tools/msvc. I think it's more realistic with meson etc. > Also, do you know about msbuild /outputResultsCache ? I don't think it's really usable for what we need.
