Current behavior?

While building tensorflow lite using bazel, I encountered the following errors in the log output. Here is my bazel command:

/c/tensorflow-2.5.0/tflite_build$ bazel build --config=elinux_armhf -c opt --crosstool_top=//toolchain:armv7-toolchain //tensorflow/lite:libtensorflowlite.so

Standalone code to reproduce the issue

NIL

Is the Python binary path set up right? (See ./configure or PYTHON_BIN_PATH.) Is distutils installed?

These are my default python paths:
INFO: Reading rc options for 'build' from /mnt/c/tensorflow-2.5.0/.tf_configure.bazelrc:
'build' options: --action_env PYTHON_BIN_PATH=/usr/bin/python3 --action_env PYTHON_LIB_PATH=/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages --python_path=/usr/bin/python3

@Thunderzen,
There are a few more simultaneous issues... If you feel you can make progress on a root cause PR please feel free to submit one that we can review.

As a Temporary fix, could you please try adding python definitions in the {project}/WORKSPACE file, then it might work. and Project can be built successfully.

# bazel_skylib and rules_python are from @org_tensorflow/WORKSPACE.
http_archive(
    name = "bazel_skylib",
    sha256 = "74d544d96f4a5bb630d465ca8bbcfe231e3594e5aae57e1edbf17a6eb3ca2506",
    urls = [
        "https://storage.googleapis.com/mirror.tensorflow.org/github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-skylib/releases/download/1.3.0/bazel-skylib-1.3.0.tar.gz",
        "https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-skylib/releases/download/1.3.0/bazel-skylib-1.3.0.tar.gz",
    ],
)

http_archive(
    name = "rules_python",

)

# Copied from `@org_tensorflow//:WORKSPACE`.
load(
    "@rules_python//python:repositories.bzl",

    "python_repository",
)
python_repository(name = "python_version_repo")
load("@python_version_repo//:py_version.bzl", "HERMETIC_PYTHON_VERSION")

# Toolchain setup here is to please the TF workspace scripts,
# and we do not use this Python version to build pip packages.
python_register_toolchains(
    name = "python",
    ignore_root_user_error = True,
    python_version = HERMETIC_PYTHON_VERSION,
)

Also tensorflow v2.5 is pretty old, please try to upgrade to the latest tensorflow v2.15 or v2.16. Thank you!
