For one thing I am not sure that this is actually the right fix for the 
issue but anyway.

The more important issue is that you changed the toolset name for a 
required platform for the upcoming release. This is, well undesirable. 
There are two ways to resolve this either revert the change or fix all 
references in status/explicit-failures-markup.xml.

Thanks
