Is this intentional, because it seems like a bug?
For instance, I'm passing:
linkoptions "/NODEFAULTLIB:libc.lib"

Research direction
Start by reproducing the VS2012 case using the shown linkoptions "/NODEFAULTLIB:libc.lib" setting, then trace how Premake routes that option to the linker and librarian. Confirm whether the option is incorrectly passed to the librarian and document the expected behavior with a focused regression test if the relevant test entry point is found.
