Building cc_binary with rules unable to find cc_toolchain_suite

[ngzhian]

I'm trying to upgrade a project to use rules_android_ndk (from the packaged one) and am facing some issues:

$ bazel build :cpuinfo --cpu=arm64-v8a --crosstool_top=@androidndk//:toolchain --host_crosstool_top=@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain 
ERROR: /usr/local/google/home/zhin/.cache/bazel/_bazel_zhin/6c29bbe1edd74d1c184bd5850967e7c9/external/androidndk/BUILD:9:6: no such target '@androidndk//toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64:cc_toolchain_suite': target 'cc_toolchain_suite' not declared in package 'toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64' defined by /usr/local/google/home/zhin/.cache/bazel/_bazel_zhin/6c29bbe1edd74d1c184bd5850967e7c9/external/androidndk/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/BUILD.bazel (Tip: use `query "@androidndk//toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64:*"` to see all the targets in that package) and referenced by '@androidndk//:toolchain'
ERROR: Analysis of target '//:cpuinfo' failed; build aborted:

FAILED: Build did NOT complete successfully (0 packages loaded, 0 targets configured)

I've read a couple of related issues here:

1. cpuinfo is a cc_binary so i'm using --cpu and --crosstool_top instead of the --fat_apk_cpu and --android_crosstool_top based on Cross compilation issues #19 (comment)

I also tried passing --extra_toolchains=@androidndk//..., and after resolving something related to @rules_python:

INFO: Build option --extra_toolchains has changed, discarding analysis cache.
ERROR: /usr/local/google/home/zhin/src/cpuinfo/BUILD.bazel:176:11: While resolving toolchains for target //:cpuinfo: invalid registered toolchain '@androidndk//...': error loading package under directory '': error loading package '@androidndk//sources/third_party/googletest/test': Unable to find package for @rules_python//python:defs.bzl: The repository '@rules_python' could not be resolved: Repository '@rules_python' is not defined.

by adding to WORKSPACE:

SHA = "84aec9e21cc56fbc7f1335035a71c850d1b9b5cc6ff497306f84cced9a769841"

VERSION = "0.23.1"

http_archive(
    name = "rules_python",
    sha256 = SHA,
    strip_prefix = "rules_python-{}".format(VERSION),
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/releases/download/{}/rules_python-{}.tar.gz".format(VERSION, VERSION),
)

load("@rules_python//python:repositories.bzl", "py_repositories")

py_repositories(

I get the same error about no such target '@androidndk//toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64:cc_toolchain_suite'.

To reproduce:

git clone https://github.com/ngzhian/cpuinfo.git
cd cpuinfo
git checkout workspace
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/path/to/ndk/r25c # i'm using r25c
bazel build :cpuinfo --cpu=arm64-v8a --crosstool_top=@androidndk//:toolchain --host_crosstool_top=@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain  --fat_apk_cpu=arm64-v8a --android_crosstool_top=@androidndk//:toolchain
