@meteorcloudy @sgowroji, how can we help here?

Upgrading rules_cc to >=0.1.4 should fix this due to bazelbuild/rules_cc@c7e5c8c

Team, Given that the current bug has caused our Downstream CI pipeline to fail for over two weeks, we're temporarily moving it to a disabled pipeline. It will be reinstated in the Downstream CI once it successfully passes its tests in the disabled pipeline.

Understandable. Thanks for notifying us. Sorry for our sluggish response. #3238 is out to fix.
