There are AUR packages for Bazel on Arch Linux:

JDK 16 issues

Running Bazel with JDK 16 as the default system Java might produce the following error: 

FATAL: bazel crashed due to an internal error. Printing stack trace:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.google.devtools.build.lib.unsafe.StringUnsafe

This can be worked around by setting a different Java to run with, for instance, jdk11-openjdk. To do this, use a ~/.bazelrc like so: 

startup --server_javabase=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk
