We should consider just dropping support for macOS 10.4 here to simplify the code.
This is support for ctypes on macOS/arm64 based on PR 21249 by Lawrence D'Anna (Apple). Changes: - changed __builtin_available tests from 11.0 to 10.15 - added test to setup.py for ffi_closure_alloc and use that in malloc_closure.c - Minor change in the code path for ffi_prep_closure_var (coding style change)
The preprocessor guard in the old version doesn't work, and isn't really needed (10.4 only supported 32-bit code where unsigned long is the same as uint32_t).
This also adds an option to stop building after compiling the 3th-party dependencies, as well as a script for archiving those dependencies. This makes it easier to work on the build. There are three changes to build-installer.py related to universal2 support: 1. Add 'universal2' information to build-installer.py; 2. Building OpenSSL for arm64 requires a patch at this time; 3. For some reason I had to patch the Tcl build to avoid a build error.
Needed because my previous workaround doesn't work anymore. This uses a private API, that should be made public later...

I thought you said you wanted to get rid of self.use_system_libffi and just use the system unconditionally.

This PR will (but does not yet) contain all changes needed to build and run on macOS 11, including "Apple Silicon" hardware.
This merges some earlier patches as well as contributions by Apple.
