bazel: IllegalStateException while building C++ on Windows

I was able to reproduce the issue first reported here: https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/pull/4516

1. On the Windows machine
2. clone envoy project: (currently HEAD is at 9d32e5c2a14cd9ab96b6e77fb04f7bd77b2c0d71) git clone https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy.git
3. install Bazel 17.0.2 (last release)
4. cd envoy bazel build //source/exe:envoy-static
5. see in the output: (below), also please check the attached java.log, which contains the following exceptions (there are multiple exceptions for several targets): 181002 16:43:21.375:WT 903 [com.google.devtools.build.lib.concurrent.AbstractQueueVisitor.maybeSaveUnhandledThrowable] Found critical error in queue visitor java.lang.RuntimeException: Unrecoverable error while evaluating node '@envoy_api//envoy/config/filter/http/transcoder/v2:transcoder_cc BuildConfigurationValue.Key[297ab5962734d5a7c3f893fa49bcd72c] false' (requested by nodes '//source/common/config:filter_json_lib BuildConfigurationValue.Key[297ab5962734d5a7c3f893fa49bcd72c] false') at com.google.devtools.build.skyframe.AbstractParallelEvaluator$Evaluate.run(AbstractParallelEvaluator.java:497) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.concurrent.AbstractQueueVisitor$WrappedRunnable.run(AbstractQueueVisitor.java:368) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException at com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(Preconditions.java:491) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.rules.cpp.LibrariesToLinkCollector.addDynamicInputLinkOptions(LibrariesToLinkCollector.java:290) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.rules.cpp.LibrariesToLinkCollector.addLinkerInputs(LibrariesToLinkCollector.java:258) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.rules.cpp.LibrariesToLinkCollector.collectLibrariesToLink(LibrariesToLinkCollector.java:203) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.rules.cpp.CppLinkActionBuilder.build(CppLinkActionBuilder.java:916) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.rules.cpp.CcLinkingHelper.createDynamicLibrary(CcLinkingHelper.java:923) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.rules.cpp.CcLinkingHelper.createCcLinkActions(CcLinkingHelper.java:713) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.rules.cpp.CcLinkingHelper.link(CcLinkingHelper.java:462) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.rules.cpp.CcLibrary.init(CcLibrary.java:286) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.rules.cpp.CcLibrary.create(CcLibrary.java:74) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.rules.cpp.CcLibrary.create(CcLibrary.java:55) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.analysis.ConfiguredTargetFactory.createRule(ConfiguredTargetFactory.java:320) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.analysis.ConfiguredTargetFactory.createConfiguredTarget(ConfiguredTargetFactory.java:205) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.skyframe.SkyframeBuildView.createConfiguredTarget(SkyframeBuildView.java:631) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.skyframe.ConfiguredTargetFunction.createConfiguredTarget(ConfiguredTargetFunction.java:770) at com.google.devtools.build.lib.skyframe.ConfiguredTargetFunction.compute(ConfiguredTargetFunction.java:320) at com.google.devtools.build.skyframe.AbstractParallelEvaluator$Evaluate.run(AbstractParallelEvaluator.java:420) ... 4 more
