Description
#4250 currently does not provide any custom toolchain validity check when provided with extra components, such as in the configuration below:
[toolchain]
channel = "ms-1.84.1"
targets = [
"aarch64-pc-windows-msvc",
"x86_64-pc-windows-msvc",
]
I think it will probably be worthwhile to add a warning clarifying that we are not doing any checks, as demonstrated in the new test.
