net40-client class library does not build

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

dotnet new --type lib a project.json
Target net40-client and net45
dotnet migrate
dotnet build3 -f net45
dotnet build3 -f net40-client

Expected behavior

Both net45 and net40-client builds should result in a .dll (pass /target:library to csc).

Actual behavior

net45 build works fine. net40-client build fails:

CSC: error CS5001: Program does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point

Environment data

Tried latest SDK package (1.0.0-alpha-20161013-1).

dotnet --info output:

The reason is the same as #270, anything incompatible with netstandard1.0 will not get any of our targets and then behave as the bug that no restore -> build for net40 without any of our logic.
