The first thing that needs to be pointed out is that the 
ToolChain-Matrix has not been updated for VS2017, so you need to be 
careful about extrapolating what applies for VS2015 or VS2013 to VS2017.

Indeed. That's because we are now using a separate VS2017_HOST 
(currently set to 'x86' by default) to identify the architecture of the 
host platform tools, so we're not using VS2017x86 any more.

You should just use VS2017. And of course, we'll need to update the 
Matrix to make that information public as well.

If you are seeing issues after setting TOOL_CHAIN_TAG to VS2017, please 
let us know.
