First of all I am not an expert, but I have some thoughts about this:) It looks like bazel is a Java application ? if so, then there will one more (I think big) dependency like Java on the host to build the bazel's packages, or it may be built by openjdk buildroot's package (which is not merged yet). Actually, bazel packages support might be added for local usages only. Anyway it is better if some of the buildroot experts can answer this question. Regards, Vadim Kochan
