Description
tests/run-make/split-debuginfo has this:
Which lumps windows-msvc and windows-gnu together, and also doesn't test anything on windows altogether.
Noticed while working on porting split-debuginfo to rmake.rs.
If this is tested somewhere else, well, it's clearly not in this run-make test.

Research direction
Start with tests/run-make/split-debuginfo/Makefile, especially lines 34-38, and inspect how the test is being ported to rmake.rs. Add coverage that distinguishes windows-msvc and windows-gnu rather than lumping them together, and ensure the split-debuginfo modes are exercised on Windows.
