On Windows with the msvc toolchain, when defining a linker wrapper via the cpp.linkerWrapper property, the link step fails with an error message stating "nologo" cannot be found. For example, consider cpp.linkerWrapper: ["wrapper.exe"]. The resulting linker command line is screwed up:

wrapper.exe /nologo <libraries> /Fe<executable> /link cl.exe /nologo <linker-options>

The correct order of arguments should be:

  wrapper.exe cl.exe /nologo <libraries> /Fe<executable> /link /nologo <linker-options>
