Error during bazel build: cannot find /usr/lib/libc.so.6 about gcc-toolchain

[ArmaanT]

After experimenting around a bit more, everything works as expected if I swap the configure_make in zlib.BUILD with the following:

cc_library(
    name = "zlib",
    srcs = glob(["*.c"]),
    hdrs = glob(["*.h"]),
    copts = [
        "-Dverbose=-1",
    ],
    includes = ["."],
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)

I wonder if there's some weird interaction going on between the toolchain and rules_foreign_cc

@ArmaanT I just wanted to give you a heads-up that the primary maintainer for this repo will not be available for a few weeks. They have the expertise to best help with this issue. Sorry for the delay.

[ArmaanT]

No problem at all. Thanks for the heads up!

@ArmaanT Sorry for the delay. This got lost on my list when I came back. Did you resolve this? The problem you are hitting is that your Linux distribution uses /usr/lib64 instead of the more common /usr/lib. This behaviour is controlled by the following line:

https://github.com/aspect-build/gcc-toolchain/blob/22862ac5637edc946a2d03f7fcc413b8c897b44f/sysroot/Dockerfile#L155

What distro are you using?
