Windows build failing in a new way

[lonetiger at gmail.com]

Ah great,

Triples again.. I still wonder why it is suddenly an issue. We haven’t touched the .m4 file in a while and no one changed libffi either right? This is just like last time the normalization bit us. Causing days of broken builds on different targets while everyone fixed the one they were interested in.

Why do we do the normalization? It doesn’t seem to give us any benefits at all.. Maybe we should stop doing it after the branch for 8.4?

Ahhh, I just noticed that Reid stumbled upon the culprit yesterday. See
