Building Tensorflow from sources

Sandbox issue

If the command:

bazel build -c opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/cc:tutorials_example_trainer

fails with

src/main/tools/namespace-sandbox.c:545: mount("none", "/", NULL, MS_REC | MS_PRIVATE, NULL): Permission denied

then add the options --spawn_strategy=stsndalone --genrule_strategy=standalone

bazel build -c opt --config=cuda --spawn_strategy=standalone --genrule_strategy=standalone //tensorflow/cc:tutorials_example_trainer
