Failing to run Wycheproof tests inside a docker container

[Mesbah Alam]

Hi Wycheproof team, 

As part of an effort to test AdoptOpenJDK(https://adoptopenjdk.net/) SDK builds, I was trying to run Wycheproof tests in our automated build environment inside a Docker container. 

I can run the the test locally on my mac using the following steps: 

1) Git clone wycheproff revision 189df209602bda4262034a1e19e84b1fe4330fd8
2) Install bagel release 0.14.0: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/0.14.0/bazel-0.14.0-installer-darwin-x86_64.sh
3) Export JAVA_HOME to SDK to test 
4) Run tests : bazel test OpenJDKAllTests  --genrule_strategy=standalone  --spawn_strategy=standalone --verbose_failure

However, When I attempt the same steps as above inside a docker container, I get an error. Below is the test run output: 

17:42:30  Extracting Bazel installation...

Please note, I have tried with Bazel version 0.14.0, and 0.14.1. 

Is there anything I am missing? 

Any help would be highly appreciated!

I've found a work around for the problem above, it is to install GCC on the docker image on which the test is running. 

The question I now have is, is there a way to run Wycheproof without having to build bazel? Can we simply download a specific version of Bazel binary and execute the tests using it?
