OK. That's really helpful. Thanks. I see it now.

So running chrpath -d on the built libraries does indeed work, but
using the build machinery to do it right i the first place would
be better. So I tried this patch:

--- a/tensorflow/tensorflow.bzl
+++ b/tensorflow/tensorflow.bzl
@@ -620,7 +620,7 @@ def tf_cc_shared_object(
             deps = deps,
             linkshared = 1,
             data = data + data_extra,
-            linkopts = linkopts + _rpath_linkopts(name_os_full) + select({
+            linkopts = linkopts + select({
                 clean_dep("//tensorflow:ios"): [
                     "-Wl,-install_name,@rpath/" + soname,
                 ],

But that's not sufficient to prevent the rpaths.

I did look into the _rpath_linkopts definition too, but my lack of
familiarity with bazel is hindering understanding. Is all this
.bzl stuff essentially written in python or is it a bazel-specific language?

Presumably there are debug modes so I can get more logging detail and
interrogate, for example, what the whole 'linkopts' string finally gets
set to, and/or the actual compiler lines the build spits out? Currently my
build log shows all the warnings, but no compile commands.

OK. Once I get to building the python bindings we can check that
that's working. The debian build will of course not be building a
pip. In general rpaths are only actually needed (in debian) when a
package has loadable modules in a sub-path of the normal
library/exectuable search paths.
