I've had kind of a crazy idea of building an entire Linux-based embedded system using Bazel. Based on your previous comment, I briefly thought they might have had some detection of foreign build systems now.
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.
