A lot of Bazel bugs were just left to rot, even though they are invalid.
There are work from users to get Bazel to a reasonable state, see:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/918703 (plus comment #1)

# Unmasking this requires a sign-off from QA and treecleaners, since
# these packages require a ton of mental bandwidth to keep up to date

I would urge to reconsider leaving Bazel out of this; I do not think that one is lost for now. Since I sometimes use Bazel myself, I will work on adding a bazel-bin + virtual.

I will NOT however use/support Bazel for Gentoo packages nor eclasses.
