OS?
bazel version?
Did you tried with --spawn_strategy=standalone --genrule_strategy=standalone?

I use Ubuntu 14.04 and bazel 0.1.1. I got the same error when building the pip package:
bazel build -c opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package

I added the option "--genrule_strategy=standalone" and it worked again now. I didn't try the option "--spawn_strategy=standalone" (they're the same?). Thanks a lot for the help.

genrule_strategy only controls genrule targets whereas spawn_strategy controls other build (like cc builds)
