BAZEL_USE_CPP_ONLY_TOOLCHAIN doesn't work without Xcode / Xcode CLT installed.

[uri-canva]

Description of the bug:

Equivalent to Bazel issue: bazelbuild/bazel#16009

BAZEL_USE_CPP_ONLY_TOOLCHAIN on Darwin is meant to disable the Xcode toolchain resolution and use the common Unix toolchain resolution based on what binaries are available on the PATH and set with environment variables. However it will still hardcode several apple tools, like /usr/bin/libtool, /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/install_name_tool (in cc_wrapper.sh).

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

# Either have an install of macOS without Xcode or Xcode CLT installed, or:
ln -s $(xcode-select -p) invalid
sudo xcode-select -s invalid
rm invalid

# try building a cc target with BAZEL_USE_CPP_ONLY_TOOLCHAIN having `libtool`, `install_name_tool` and `gcc` on your `PATH`:
BAZEL_USE_CPP_ONLY_TOOLCHAIN=1 bazel build //tools/cpp/runfiles

Expected output: successful build using the binaries on your PATH.
Actual output:

ERROR: /Users/uri/github/bazelbuild/bazel/tools/cpp/runfiles/BUILD:51:11: Compiling tools/cpp/runfiles/runfiles_src.cc failed: (Exit 1): cc_wrapper.sh failed: error executing command external/local_config_cc/cc_wrapper.sh -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -fstack-protector -Wall -Wthread-safety -Wself-assign -Wunused-but-set-parameter -Wno-free-nonheap-object -fcolor-diagnostics ...

xcrun: error: active developer path ("/Users/uri/github/bazelbuild/bazel/invalid") does not exist
Use `sudo xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app` to specify the Xcode that you wish to use for command line developer tools, or use `xcode-select --install` to install the standalone command line developer tools.
See `man xcode-select` for more details.
