Hi, Yes, Bazel cares for everything and that's why we are getting this problem. We just wanted to check with you if there is an option in GCC to not resolve symbolic links. We hoped GCC is flexible enough to handle this or you have good ideas to solve this. It would be disappointing if it's not possible to solve, as we would prefer not to search for another compiler.

It's kind of inherent in its design to want to know every file accessed during a build. > https://bazel.build/basics/hermeticity We could debate the pros/cons, but bazel is what it is... I avoid it when I can. jeff If you are not the addressee, please inform us immediately that you have received this e-mail by mistake, and delete it. We thank you for your support.
