You didn't want to use warnings.warn()?

I don't like that it can sometimes appear at a random point in the output due to using stderr instead of stdout so I hadn't even tested it. I've just tried it and found that:
- in Terminal, it seems to always print in the intended order;
- in PyCharm, it can print out of order, but uses a red highlight.
I've therefore changed the code to use warnings.warn.

Is this change something that could be suggested to https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo, so that it could one day no longer require patching?

No, not easily.
CMake does not provide a value for the target CPU architecture, only the host CPU architecture: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12024211/1648883
The {architecture} string here is referring to the Python value from

For #6679 and #7390 (comment)
When compiling Pillow directly on an ARM64 system, I found it worked after installing the correct Visual Studio components.
Cross-compiling required a few patches to the dependencies.
