Can you elaborate? I assume those projects have to be brought into the Bazel configuration format, or does it have some support for foreign build systems?

Some part of me still finds the idea kind of interesting. The idea of doing a Linux-from-scratch, but porting each project to Bazel in the process. It's kind of silly and would be a lot of work, but I think about being able to modify a header of any library in the system, and have that change quickly percolate up to every dependent application automatically.
The way to do it now is through bitbake, but it (rightly) is just wrappers around every other build system. The goals are a bit different than Bazel's, but it's quite slow.
