(FTR, removing yourself from the "nosy list" means you won't get any responses to your issue, so I've added you back :))

This appears to be a problem with building Tcl/Tk.  If you don't need the tkinter module, you can try adding the `--no-tkinter` flag to your `build.bat` invocation.  We have an open issue to upgrade Tcl/Tk to 8.6.10 (which is more likely to support VS2019) in Python 3.9, but that is not going to be backported to 3.6, which is now in security-fix-only mode.
