Make --android_crosstool_top default to the android_ndk_repository specified in the WORKSPACE file.

The error reporting if an android_ndk_repository rule is present is not very user-friendly (it just uses the non-Android toolchain, resulting in compile errors) but given that --android_crosstool_top is an interim solution until we get reasonable multi-platform support, I suppose it's fine.

As a side effect, instead of prefixing fat APK output directories with "fat-apk-", we prefix Android output directories with "android-".

This makes it possible to build Android apps with zero command line options. Rejoice!

Bazel (Alpha)

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:

  • A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.

  • An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.

  • Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
