Failures to install patchelf on macOS-latest
Description
Since version v3.1.4 with the addition of the patchelf dependency we have seen CI failures on the macOS-latest image on Azure Pipelines. We've had to pin to v3.1.3 as a workaround.

I see a macOS wheel here: https://pypi.org/project/patchelf/#files Is there some environment variable set forcing source builds? Also, you don't need all those dependencies, some are even installed twice. wheel is no longer used by setuptools, and you don't need setuptools (or any other dependencies) to run cibuildwheel.
