Description

[link.read.1.tlog.zip](https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/files/2167522/link.read.1.tlog.zip)

On some windows systems some 64 tools can access files in c:\windows\system32 directory.

When trying to check if the file are up to date ms build fails to access them and decides to rebuild

Same happens with 64 bit msbuild and 32 bit tools that access syswow64 directory. Then msbuild checks for incorrect files. It checks in system32 instead of syswow64

Attached zipped file produces an output from link.exe

Reported windows version:

Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview
Build 17692.rs_prerelease.180609-1317
