Bugs: what’s the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

WORKSPACE

BUILD

cc_binary(
    name = "a",
    srcs = ["a.cc"],
)

a.cc

int main() { new int; }

Build command and output:

Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?

Could you also share the state-of-the-art way of doing mostly static build? That is, linking libc and libm dynamically while linking other libraries (including libstdc++) statically?
