[issue43804] "Building C and C++ Extensions on Windows" docs are very out-of-date

Then it appears you're using a version of the compiler that is built for building 32-bit exes/dlls, you need to use the x64 version.

For this you need to start either the x86 Cross Tools console or the x64 native console (VS 2019) or use vcvarsall.cmd/Enter-VsDevShell (PowerShell)
