Since my usual Windows machine is on the fritz, I installed Windows 11 ARM64 in a VM on my Mac (works surprisingly well, btw!). I ended up with an AMD64 Python though, and the build scripts didn't account for that situation. This fixes a thing here and there in the build preparation script to make cross-compilation work.

It also includes the ImageQuant linkage fix (#10050), since it failing on Win32 in CI is also related to cross-compilation.

If #9926 is merged, the FriBiDi fixes here wouldn't be necessary, but that's an easy fix either way.
