Build Tensorflow from source for old CPU (SSE4.2, no CUDA), error I can't solve

Hi all,

I am attempting to compile Tensorflow from source on a Linux machine (Opensuse Tumbleweed installed), with an old CPU (non-AVX-compatible, but SSE4.2-compatible) and an old graphic card (GeForce GT 435M, compatible with CUDA version 9.1). For my task, I need to compile Tensorflow without CUDA or AVX, and just compatible to SSE4.2. I am using Tensorflow v2.15 code: this is because of matching with some other requirements, including Clang’s version.

I managed to solve all the dependencies and other errors in this process, but I’ve stumbled upon something I can’t seem to solve. Would you please be able to give any hint? Is there maybe any package or library missing?

PS: I used the -march=native option during ./configure, and I am using Clang v16.0.3 for compiling (but I’ve also tried using gcc and it gives back the same error at the same location).
The error output code is the following:

[10,621 / 14,339] Compiling xla/mlir_hlo/mhlo/transforms/hlo_legalize_to_stablehlo/hlo_legalize_to_stablehlo.cc; 73s local ...

…At row 655 (where the error originates) , the followin block is found, if that’s helpful:

tf_gen_op_wrappers_cc(     name = "array_ops",     api_def_srcs = ["//tensorflow/core/api_def:base_api_def"],     extra_gen_deps = ["//tensorflow/c/kernels:bitcast_op_lib"],     op_lib_names = [         "array_ops",     ],     pkg = "//tensorflow/core", )

Thanks in advance for your help. If there is anything else I can provide, please let me know.
