Compile failure on windows

[carllerche]

For some reason, generator is starting to fail to compile on windows. This started recently on the Azure windows CI platform. Here is an example of a failed build:

https://dev.azure.com/tokio-rs/Tokio/_build/results?buildId=4652&view=logs&jobId=edbb8bb1-bc6c-5b89-6b1a-b043f7e49efc&j=edbb8bb1-bc6c-5b89-6b1a-b043f7e49efc&t=38b5b02f-30ce-5594-6cc9-d7432c882ad9

The error is:

error: failed to run custom build command for `generator v0.6.19`

Caused by:

Seems that the i686 target is not well supported. Is it possible to run the test on TARGET="x86_64-pc-windows-msvc"?

I will try to fix this for the i686 target.

Thanks for the reply and I appreciate the work maintaining generator. It has been super useful for loom.

We have worked around by disabling our loom tests on windows, so we are not blocked :)
