Description
Hi,
There seems to be a bootstrapping issue for [setuptools-scm on Python < 3.10](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools-scm/issues/1131) if you're doing builds from source.
From [my experimentation](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools-scm/issues/1131#issuecomment-2840272432), it seems that if we limit `zipp` to build with `setuptools-scm < 8.3.0` on Python 3.8 and 3.9, we can break the cyclical dependencies for all projects.
I'm happy to make the PRs to do this.

Research direction
Start by reviewing zipp’s source-build configuration and the linked setuptools-scm issue, focusing on Python 3.8 and 3.9. Confirm how the setuptools-scm version constraint is currently declared, then verify that source builds no longer encounter the reported circular dependency on those Python versions.
