OK, after copying it to wsutil as well, I now get this:

--------------------
file_util.obj : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'X86' conflicts with ta
rget machine type 'x64'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0
\VC\BIN\link.EXE"' : return code '0x458'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0
\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
--------------------------

Investigating.
