[New-bugs-announce] [issue41172] test_peg_generator C tests fail on Windows ARM

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org>:

These tests rely on MSVC to do some building, but Windows ARM devices do not currently have a compiler toolset (you need to cross-compile).

We should skip these tests.

Sample build: https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/182/builds/773

Sample traceback: 
======================================================================
ERROR: test_error_in_rules (test.test_peg_generator.test_c_parser.TestCParser)
