Which version of protocol buffers does TensorFlow 1.1 depend on? - tensorflow

Question

It is unclear which version of protocol buffers TensorFlow 1.1 depends on.
The pip package built by TensorFlow 1.1 depends on protobuf >= 3.2.
The TensorFlow installation instructions for Ubuntu reference protobuf 3.1.
Furthermore, attempting to build TensorFlow 1.1 from source whilst using protobuf 3.1, 3.2, or 3.3 built from source fails.
I can build TensorFlow 1.1 from source as long as I allow it to build its own copy of protobuf but I would rather it used a common version if possible.
If I build protobuf 3.1 from source and then attempt to build TensorFlow 1.1 from source I get the following error:
