Note that the Modules/CompilerId/* project files do have some content
specific to the compiler id step.  Therefore a separate set should
be used for this feature.

I suggest the following steps:

1. Revert the target_compile_features topic until this is resolved.

2. Create a new topic that adds a *test* in which you build the
   new infrastructure.  (This way all the trial and error will be
   isolated to a single test and other topics can proceed without
   interference.)

3. Once the test works everywhere, the actual infrastructure can
   be ported over to the Modules directory and the test can just
   exercise it.

4. Rebuild target_compile_features using this new run-compiler
   feature.
