Current Behaviour?

The build on POWER/PPC machine fails with e.g. 

/XNNPACK/BUILD.bazel:7746:26: Configurable attribute "deps" doesn't match this con
figuration (would a default condition help?).

I don’t think that blindly importing/depending on everything is a good idea. Besides that issues like that should likely be fixed in the other repos (see the link below).

Standalone code to reproduce the issue

Simply build the PIP package per the instructions.

Reason is https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/754b33d9526ac4ed9d4900ffea1a35107037b37f which makes a target depend on @XNNPACK//:__subpackages__ (and also e.g. @cpuinfo//:__subpackages__) but those are not (correctly?) define for PPC. See e.g. https://github.com/google/XNNPACK/issues/3950

When removing the XNNPACK dependency then I get a similar issue for CPUINFO:

ERROR: /dev/shm/s3248973-EasyBuild/TensorFlow/2.8.2/foss-2021b/TensorFlow/bazel-root/366a3a873d5422e1454f21ea2c9f7525/external/cpuinfo/BUILD.bazel:100:11: Configurable attribute "srcs" doesn't match this configuration (would a default condition help?).
