Optlink does not support 64bit.
For 64bit support we use the MSVC tooling on Windows.

We provide Optlink so that we have support for Windows out of the box. 
Unfortunately since Optlink does not understand COFF, we are forced to 
provide a second command option to force MSVC tooling for 32bit usage.
