Description

Hello!

I was trying to build cpp-tutorial/stage1 on Ubuntu 22.04 with a bazel binary installed from the [Bazel's apt repository](https://bazel.build/install/ubuntu#install-on-ubuntu), and it returned the following error:

```
(base) user@computer:/media/user/drive/repositories/bazel_examples/cpp-tutorial/stage1$ bazel build //main:hello-world --verbose_failures
Extracting Bazel installation...

```

I checked the bazel cache folder and found both

- /home/user/.cache/bazel/_bazel_user/57a42fc2a5495574ce64c6e247ef67dd/external/gcc_toolchain_x86_64/bin/gcc
- /home/user/.cache/bazel/_bazel_user/57a42fc2a5495574ce64c6e247ef67dd/external/gcc_toolchain_x86_64_files/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc

but I had trouble figuring out how to direct the build to reach the latter path.

Any help will be very much appreciated!
