    This makes the Windows build create thin archives when linking the
    binaries to reduce the amount of redundant writes to disk when building.
    
    With a normal clean build, the size of the build directory has reduced
    by 2GB.
    
    When I tested building on a RAM-based filesystem, the clean build time
    is reduced from 52 minutes to 50. The result could be more significant
    on SSD/HDD.
    
    (Above data does not include building the deps.)
    
    Note: If you encountered build errors, you may need to do a clean
    rebuild. This is only for Windows.
