I have not tried to build LDC myself, but my guess is that there is 
something wrong with the build step for the assembly file ldfpu.asm. It 
seems the VS projects are generated from CMake, so it might not be setup 
correctly.

For x64 builds, the command line in dmd_msc.vcproj is "ml64 -c -Zi 
"-Fl$(IntDir)\$(InputName).lst" "-Fo$(IntDir)\$(InputName).obj" 
"$(InputPath)".
For win32 builds, ldfpu.asm should be excluded from the build, inline 
assembly is used instead in longdouble.c.

BTW: are there instructions how to build LDC2 on Windows? What is the 
state of the missing exception handling for Windows?
