[New-bugs-announce] [issue42405] Add distutils mvsccompiler support for Windows ARM64 build

[Adrian Vladu]

New submission from Adrian Vladu <avladu at cloudbasesolutions.com>:

To add support for building packages that have C extensions on Windows ARM64, some fixes are required in the integrated distutils wrapper for Visual Studio compiler (Lib/distutils/msvc9compiler.py)

This is a hardcoded fix that needs to be improved so that it applies only on windows arm64:

Any suggestions are welcome.
