My bad, I overlooked the two flags. The cmake files have been patched
in master branch of packaging repo.

Well, I have been waiting for intel to fix test failures for a long
time. Finally the snapshot 0.15+git20180803.3f58c16 doesn't fail
any test on dom-amd64 (E5 2699v?) and my I5-7440HQ, but now it failed
on AMD cpu ...

Thanks for the log, I've forwarded it to upstream.

I shouldn't let any test failure from mkl-dnn pass, so we have to wait
for upstream to fix the problem. Fortunately, TensorFlow can be compiled
with or without mkl-dnn. It doesn't matter if the initial upload of
TensorFlow is not linked against mkl-dnn. The difference that mkl-dnn
would bring to TensorFlow is computation speed-up.
