Description
### Description of the bug:
We have some code generation actions that generate a treeartifact full of .cxx files and these are passed into cc_library rules. This all works fine. However, if we add options to the compiler with --cxxopt, these options do not get passed to the compiler for compile actions for these generated .cxx files. The options *do* get passed for regular .cxx files.
As a workaround we can pass options using --copt and these do apply to the .cxx files inside the tree-artifact but this can cause other issues with other .c files if the option we need to pass is not compatible with c-compilation.
Thanks!
