I built TensorFlow 1.12 from source using Bazel 15.0, Python 3.6.5, and GCC 7.3.0. It seems to work properly, but that when I import pandas before importing tensorflow it uses /lib64/libstdc++.so.6, rather than the one associated with GCC 7.3.0:

$ python3 -c "import tensorflow, pandas" # no error

$ python3 -c "import pandas, tensorflow"

I made sure when building to use -Wl,--enable-new-dtags,-rpath,/apps/gcc/7.3.0/lib64, and have confirmed that the RUNPATH is actually set:

$ readelf -d /apps/python-3.6.5-tensorflow/1.12.0/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorflow/python/_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so | grep RUNPATH

 0x000000000000001d (RUNPATH)            Library runpath: [$ORIGIN/../../_solib_k8/_U_S_Stensorflow_Spython_C_Upywrap_Utensorflow_Uinternal.so___Utensorflow:$ORIGIN/../../_solib_k8/_U@mkl_Ulinux_S_S_Cmkl_Ulibs_Ulinux___Uexternal_Smkl_Ulinux_Slib:$ORIGIN/:$ORIGIN/..:/apps/gcc/7.3.0/lib64]

$ ldd /apps/python-3.6.5-tensorflow/1.12.0/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorflow/python/_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so | grep libstdc++

    libstdc++.so.6 => /apps/gcc/7.3.0/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f82c9711000)

It seems odd that despite the fact that ldd finds the right libstdc++.so.6 (so probably not a duplicate of this issue), the wrong one is used under this circumstance. LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD aren't set, and the ld.so man page shows that RUNPATH should thus have precedence. It could be that I'm misunderstanding what should be happening--it's my impression that, absent LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD, an ELF's RUNPATH is the supreme authority on where libraries should be searched, and that whatever ldd sees should be exactly what is used at runtime. Am I misunderstanding? Is there a real way (i.e. NOT just sloppily using LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to fix this?

There's a little more background at this GitHub issue, although I don't know how much of it will be helpful.
