<br>
Some benefits from this change:<br>
* No more linker OOM crashes. VS2013 includes a 64-bit toolchain for 32-bit builds, so the linker will no longer be limited to 4GB address space.<br>
* The linker capacity opens the door for merging our binaries into libxul (like we do on the other platforms)<br>
* More than 2x improvement in PGO build times<br>
* Better language support<br>
