Tags with "linux" are disallowed  to PyPI because they will not be
cross-compatible. The manylinux (and later musllinux) specifications
were created to allow binary distribution on Linux and cryptography
uploads wheels for many permutations of that.

cffi has slightly different restrictions (it cannot ship abi3 wheels,
unlike cryptography), but also ships manylinux wheels for many
versions. The most likely scenario here is that you need to upgrade
your version of pip to the latest so that it correctly detects and
downloads wheels. However, if you are somehow on an unsupported
platform, building will be your only option (although there you could
do it as a staged build and cache the generated artifacts for reuse in
your own pipelines).
