The VS solution included with the llvm sources only builds x86. I don't
know if there is a reason for this restriction, other than minimising
maintenance. I assume that most LLVM developers who do VC++ are using
the VS solution and thus are unaware of possible VS-specific problems
with the other backends. As I don't do C++ maintenance on LLVM, I prefer
to keep things on a state that guarantees the utmost probability of a
successful build.

That said, a magic value for LLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD that implies all
backends would be nice to have. I'll implement this ASAP.
