Windows linker validate build broken
Summary
since 6a4098a4 the Macro OC_INFORMATIVE_FILENAME is used on all codepaths in the linker.
This macro is defined as:
#define OC_INFORMATIVE_FILENAME(OC) \
( (OC)->archiveMemberName ? \
(OC)->archiveMemberName : \
(OC)->fileName \
)
Which doesn't work on Windows since archiveMemberName is a char* and fileName is pathchar*.
These two are not the same Windows.
Also the patch used hard-coded "%s" instead of "%" PATH_FMT to abstract away from this differences.
This brings in a dilemma of how to fix this. A proper fix is change archiveMemberName to be a pathchar.
But as it stands the debug rts is somewhat broken on Windows.
