targetPath ignored when used with `platform` on Windows

System information

• dub version: 1.6.0
• OS Platform and distribution: Windows 10 64-bit
• compiler version dmd 2.077.1

Bug Description

dub build --arch=x86_mscoff ignores platform in targetPath and puts the binary in the wrong directory.

How to reproduce?

dub.sdl:

name "foo"
targetType "executable"
targetPath "bin\\32" platform="windows-x86_mscoff"
targetPath "bin\\64" platform="windows-x86_64"

souce/app.d:

void main() {}

Expected Behavior

The binary should be in bin\32 when built with --arch=x86_mscoff, not bin\64

Any chance you could attach the output of dub build --arch=x86_mscoff --vverbose?

[atilaneves]

The output is as expected, here's the end of it:

Performing "debug" build using dmd for x86, x86_mscoff.
foo ~master: target for configuration "application" is up to date.

To force a rebuild of up-to-date targets, run again with --force.

It's working as specified, but I'm unsure why targetPath doesn't support platform customization. So unless any unsolvable issue comes up, this definitely makes sense as an enhancement.

I have same problem on linux with x86-arm platform pair

targetPath "build/arm/bin" platform "arm"
targetPath "build/x86/bin" platform "x86"

always builds to build/x86/bin

dub version

DUB version 1.7.2, built on Feb 15 2018

Quick reading sources point me to packagerecipe.d and BuildSettingsTemplate I think all of those attributes doesn't accept platform. All platform-specificatable fields in BuildSettingsTemplate is AA. Algorithms are corresponds.
