Make it possible to put the Crosstool proto in BUILD files.

This is needed so that Bazel can access Android NDK if it's outside of the workspace. The current limitation is that we Bazel can pretend that there is a BUILD file there, but cannot do the same with a CROSSTOOL file. We could fix that limitation, but given that Crosstool is the only conceivable use case, let's fix it by changing the Blaze-Crosstool interface.

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.
