This doesn't seem right. The second parameter to command_path is added to the end of %Path% and before #42225 it was only used by MSVC.

Ah yes. I suspected that path had no effect. I'll update.

Fix setting PATH during linkage on windows-gnu This makes the behavior almost exactly the same as before the VS2017 patch, except that on MSVC builds the host bin path is no longer added to PATH. I am not sure that's actually necessary on any platform. r? @alexcrichton Fixes #42422
