As described in symlink_helpers.bzl, copied here for visibility:
Symlinking busybox things needs special logic.
This is because Bazel doesn't cache the actual symlink, resulting in
essentially resolved symlinks being produced in place of the expected
tool. As a consequence, we can't rely on the symlink name when dealing
with busybox entries.
An example repro of this using a local build cache is:
bazel build //toolchain
bazel clean
bazel build //toolchain
We could in theory get reasonable behavior with
`ctx.actions.declare_symlink`, but that's disallowed in our `.bazelrc`
for cross-environment compatibility.
The particular approach here uses the Python script as a launching pad
so that the busybox still receives an appropriate location in argv[0],
allowing it to find other files in the lib directory. Arguments are
inserted to get equivalent behavior as if symlink resolution had
occurred.
