[issue34575] Python 3.6 compilation fails on AppVeyor: libeay.lib was created with an older compiler

Paul Moore <p.f.moore at gmail.com> added the comment:

One thought - appveyor.yml says that the cache of externals depends on PCBuild. Could it be that appveyor is caching PCBuild to verify whether it's changed (and hence whether to use the cached externals)? I know that sounds bizarre, but I'm not entirely sure why externals should be dependent on the *whole* of PCBuild anyway - maybe we should change it to depend only on PCBuild/get_externals.bat?

Clutching at straws here, there's definitely nothing obvious I can see though.
