runtime: Build for System.Runtime fails within VS

Cleaned and synced to today

build.cmd clr+libs -rc release
build.cmd -subset libs.tests -rc release
build.cmd -subset libs.tests -framework net48 -rc release
build -vs System.Runtime

Build in VS and it fails with

I have a design time binlog available.

Reproes with both VS 16.8.0 and 16.6.5.

From the binlog we know it’s when VS is trying to build with TF=Unix.

@ericstj any thoughts? @ViktorHofer and @safern are puzzled.
