One F # 4.1 compiler includes targetPlatform netstandard, the other doesn't

Question

The F # 4.1 compiler on my build machine has slightly different parameters --targetProfilethan the F # 4.1 compiler on my dev machine.

On my dev machine, when I type fsc.exe -?, the output includes the following:

Microsoft (R) F# Compiler version 4.1
     :
--targetprofile:<string>
Specify target framework profile of this assembly.
Valid values are mscorlib, netcore or netstandard.
     :

On my build server, the same command outputs the following:

Microsoft (R) F# Compiler version 4.1
     :
--targetprofile:<string>
Specify target framework profile of this assembly.
Valid values are mscorlib or netcore.
     :

Note that the dev machine contains netstandardas a valid value, but the build server does not.

Therefore, when I try to build my project on the build server, I get a compile time error " error FS1052: Invalid value 'netstandard' for '--targetprofile'"

What's happening? Is there a way to display the actual version number of the F # 4.1 compiler? fsc.exe --versiondoes not work.
