Description
Hello I'm trying to build python from source in bazel,
but when I pass @sqlite3 as deps, seems python configure didn't detect it as available , I can only find header/lib in EXT_BUILD_DEPS dir, no pkg-config pc file, how rules_foreign_cc to expose these include/lib as depdencies to configure script ?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the configure_make handling of the @sqlite3 dependency and the EXT_BUILD_DEPS directory mentioned in the issue. Check how the configure script expects pkg-config metadata or include/lib paths, and consider the work complete when dependencies are exposed so Python's configure step detects SQLite.
