See lines 45-53. I don't believe nmake accepts *nix style arguments. Hence, remove -l from nmake lines.

Didn't see a need to have a PR test twice. If someone could add to another...

I had an error message on at least one of my nmake log files about bad argument; wonder if it's version dependent. I changed all params to / style, but next mswin build I'll swap back to -

What version is your nmake, and what was the exact error message?
At least, versions since VC98 through VS2017 have never failed.

I think I've tried VS2015 and VS2017, settled on VS2015. I don't recall the message. I was mistaken in my assumption about -.

What I may have seen was the -l option in appveyor. I don't see that in NMAKE options.

If you have a moment, please have a look at #13726 PATCH: Windows builds - fractional second file times

Thanks again for your contributions. Close?

-l is undocumented, just nmake sets MAKEFLAGS=l when /nologo option is given.
