ef migrations bundle doesn't work on Linux without .exe extension #36701
Description
Bug description
I'm using dotnet ef migrations bundle to create a standalone executable to perform migrations at install time. This works fine on Windows, but on Linux I change the --output parameter to drop the .exe extension, this fails with an "Ambiguous project name" error. If I re-add the .exe extension, it works fine, but produces an .exe which needs renaming.
Your code
