Description
Today this feature only works in Windows with a Visual Studio install and with the x64 flavor of MSBuild. Notably, dotnet is not supported.
Really this feature would need to go into MSBuild, and perhaps even all the way into BuildXL, but tracking it here since it'll likely be driven from here.

Research direction
The issue identifies the current Windows, Visual Studio, and x64 MSBuild limitation and names dotnet, MSBuild, and BuildXL as possible layers. Start by tracing where that limitation is implemented; define the required MSBuild and BuildXL scope, with done meaning the feature works with dotnet across platforms.
