See e.g. https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/actions/runs/42773127632/job/129685321760?pr=9784. Apparently this is an [upstream bug in distutils](https://github.com/pypa/distutils/issues/439), independently found by others. My distutils fix PR is https://github.com/pypa/distutils/pull/440. There's a short workaround [here in my branch](https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/compare/main...akx:Pillow:workaround-msvc-issue?expand=1) but I can't open a PR due to the open PR limit.

For now, I'd like to wait and see how the distutils PR goes.
