Description

Documentation URL: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/tutorial/cc-toolchain-config.html

Following these steps for my project, I get the error: missing input file '//toolchain:empty'

I should probably try for the tutorial file, but first I wanted to ask if you could also put the final BUILD/bzl files in the docs. It's more error prone because of the rewriting steps and it would be nice to have a correct reference at the end.
