Compiling tensorflow: undefined reference to `clSetUserEventStatus#OPENCL_1.1' - tensorflow

Question

PS: Question is at the end, the following is just background information that might help.
I'm trying to compile tensorflow, but getting this error:
bazel-out/host/bin/_solib_local/_U#local_Uconfig_Usycl_S_Ssycl_Csyclrt___Uexternal_Slocal_Uconfig_Usycl_Ssycl_Slib/libComputeCpp.so:
undefined reference to `clSetUserEventStatus#OPENCL_1.1'
By using "strace" tool, i've isolated the exact statement that's failing to be:
(
cd /home/rh/.cache/bazel/_bazel_rh/81919f16ea125cb9f08993f06569f022/execroot/tensorflow && \
exec env - PATH=/home/rh/.nvm/versions/node/v6.9.5/bin:/home/rh/perl5/bin:/home/rh/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/rh/bin:/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_74/bin:/home/rh/.local/bin:/home/rh/myscripts \

-Wl,--no-undefined
)
strace also confirms that this command IS reading /usr/local/computecpp/lib/libComputeCpp.so, which contains the aforementioned clSetUserEventStatus symbol.
I verified that libComputeCpp.so contains clSetUserEventStatus by checking the output of the nm command:
nm /usr/local/computecpp/lib/libComputeCpp.so | grep clSetUserEventStatus
>> U clSetUserEventStatus##OPENCL_1.1
So here is my question: clang (and/or its linker) is reading the file that contains the symbol that it's complaining about... why is it "missing something" and complaining that it's undefined?
How can I get this compile to work?
