Can not find -lpthread for android ndk arm64-v8a build

[Nick-infinity]

Hello,
I am trying to build bazel/example:main with ndk r25 tool chain for android api level 31 . I am using bazel version 6.0.0 . When I try to compile the the target I get linker error for pthread library. In my understanding ndk does not have a separate pthread library.
I am suspecting :

glog/bazel/glog.bzl

Line 73 in f545ff5

"-DHAVE_PTHREAD",

and

glog/src/config.h.cmake.in

Line 34 in f545ff5

/* Define to 1 if you have the `pthread' library (-lpthread). */

Are there any specific instructions to build for android using ndk for bazel ?
Please guide me on how to fix this issue if it has been seen earlier.

I have added .bazelrc file in the root of this project in parallel to WORKSPACE file to allow ndk build configuration

build:android --crosstool_top=//external:android/crosstool
build:android --host_crosstool_top=@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain

build:android_arm --config=android
build:android_arm --cpu=armeabi-v7a
build:android_arm --fat_apk_cpu=armeabi-v7a

build:android_arm64 --config=android
build:android_arm64 --cpu=arm64-v8a
build:android_arm64 --fat_apk_cpu=arm64-v8a

build:android_x86 --config=android
build:android_x86 --cpu=x86
build:android_x86 --fat_apk_cpu=x86

build:android_x86_64 --config=android
build:android_x86_64 --cpu=x86_64
build:android_x86_64 --fat_apk_cpu=x86_64

build --fat_apk_cpu=x86_64,arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a
build --host_crosstool_top=@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain
build --experimental_repo_remote_exec
test --fat_apk_cpu=x86_64,arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a
test --host_crosstool_top=@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain

build --spawn_strategy=standalone

I have also appended code to workspace file to accomodate ndk rules like this :

android_sdk_repository(
name = "androidsdk",
api_level = 31,
)

android_ndk_repository(
name = "androidndk",
)

No, I'm not sure if anybody has tried that and can't see any issues referencing it.

If you can work out how to break the dependency on pthread, please send a PR to change glog.bzl to use appropriate cflags on Android:

glog/bazel/glog.bzl

Line 145 in f545ff5

final_lib_copts = select({

This is because glog depends on "@com_github_gflags_gflags//:gflags" which links pthread. Instead, Android targets should depend on "@com_github_gflags_gflags//:gflags_nothreads".
