Standalone code to reproduce the issue

Using this configuration: 

./configure
You have bazel 6.1.0 installed. (6.5 for TF 2.16.1)
Please specify the location of python. [Default is /usr/bin/python3]: 


Found possible Python library paths:

  /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages
Please input the desired Python library path to use.  Default is [/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages]

Do you wish to build TensorFlow with ROCm support? [y/N]: 
No ROCm support will be enabled for TensorFlow.

Do you wish to build TensorFlow with CUDA support? [y/N]: y
CUDA support will be enabled for TensorFlow.

Do you wish to build TensorFlow with TensorRT support? [y/N]: y

Please specify optimization flags to use during compilation when bazel option "--config=opt" is specified [Default is -Wno-sign-compare]: -Wno-sign-compare


Would you like to interactively configure ./WORKSPACE for Android builds? [y/N]: 
Not configuring the WORKSPACE for Android builds.

Preconfigured Bazel build configs. You can use any of the below by adding "--config=<>" to your build command. See .bazelrc for more details.
	--config=mkl         	# Build with MKL support.
	--config=mkl_aarch64 	# Build with oneDNN and Compute Library for the Arm Architecture (ACL).
	--config=monolithic  	# Config for mostly static monolithic build.
	--config=numa        	# Build with NUMA support.
	--config=dynamic_kernels	# (Experimental) Build kernels into separate shared objects.
	--config=v1          	# Build with TensorFlow 1 API instead of TF 2 API.
Preconfigured Bazel build configs to DISABLE default on features:
	--config=nogcp       	# Disable GCP support.
	--config=nonccl      	# Disable NVIDIA NCCL support.

I just tried to compile TF2.15.0 using CUDA 12.2 and nvcc (NOT clang) and compilation was successful. I’d leave this bug report open, as compilation with clang still fails (and clang is now the default compiler in configure).

I was able to build 2.16.1 with CUDA 12.4 with clang 17 on Ubuntu 22.04 by manually adding the line “build:cuda --copt=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument” into .tf_configure.bazelrc after running configure and before running bazel build. I also had to “export TF_PYTHON_VERSION=3.10” before “bazel build --subcommands //tensorflow/tools/pip_package/v2:wheel --repo_env=WHEEL_NAME=tensorflow --config=cuda”. I do have a separate build error (see issue 62047) if I add copt “-march=native” or “-mavx” though.

You don’t have to modify the .tf_configure.bazelrc file, but yes, if compiling with clang-17, then you should pass --copt=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument to the bazel build command and it will accomplish the same goal w/o modifying a file etc.

The original bug while using clang can be fixed by making sure the library libstdc++-12-dev is installed:

sudo apt install libstdc++-12-dev

However a new set of errors appear, which seem related to a confusing definition of noinline. Log:
