I don't think I see Windows ARM64 interpreter builds for indygreg even in the latest release, hence I am not sure if that is something that Given that users can build their own Python interpreter and register it as a toolchain and use the pip parse rules to pull the dependencies (pending the work as part of #260, still experimental but in #2278 becomes one step closer to stabilization), I am inclined to close this as won't do. Once indygreg provides builds for Windows ARM64 interpreter, we can add them as part of regular maintenance tasks. |

It seems that indygreg might support it soon. |

…2406) Before this PR we would shell out to `uname` on UNIX systems to get the `arch` of the toolchain - on Windows we would not need to do it because there used to be only a single Windows platform. With this change we can correctly support the resolution of the python interpreter on various platforms and I have also added an env variable to customize the selection, so that users can use `musl` or a `freethreaded` interpreter if they wish. As part of this change, I have restricted visibility of the config settings used in the toolchain alias repo so that we are creating fewer targets. This is a very good time to do this before `1.0.0`.

Description
There is currently no support to build natively for Windows / ARM64 platform which is not convenient.
The Snapdragon X being used in popular laptops (surface pro for example), it now becomes quite important to be able to build for this platform natively.
Describe the solution you'd like
The ideal would be to download an arm64 version of python and use arm64 pip requirements (and per architecture requirement seem to be already supported).
Describe alternatives you've considered
A workaround would already to support building using an hermetic x86_64 python with x86_64 pip dependencies while using an arm64 host, relying on the x96_64 -> arm64 Windows emulation.
This doesn't work either, because pip_parse discards the x86_64 dependencies because it doesn't match the host cpu.
