[issue8170] Wrong Paths for distutils build --plat-name=win-amd64

[Robin Becker]

Robin Becker <rgbecker at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

That would be a solution if we had a separate 64 bit machine & extra versions of Visual Studio, but the actual bug is with the cross-compiling behaviour. If it's not supposed to work then this isn't a bug and section 5.4 should go; otherwise  the correct way to do this should be better documented and made to work.
