sorry. I need a lot more context. What are you building. How are you invoking it. Can you provide full reproduction steps.

I assume you are "building" the basetools C source files using https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/BaseTools/toolsetup.bat? If so this should be a bug/issue against that part of the project. You can file it here. https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/
