Exactly!  This patch was motivated by a recent bug I found where we used an unprefixed function that defaulted to ANSI instead of Wide.

I have never successfully built compiler-rt with MSVC. Every time I've tried (the last time was 6+ months ago, so I will try again), the MSVC solution generated by CMake refuses to compile. From what I understand, it basically only works with ninja, which I do not have installed. :-(

If you wouldn't mind giving it a shot, I would be curious to know what the state of it is with this change.
