Patch file for eigen source currently used by tensorflow build (as of 7/25/2018). Based on patch submitted by Jiandong Ruan at http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=1526

To apply this patch using the cmake build, download the gist and add -Deigen_PATCH_FILE=path-to-patch.txt to the cmake command line.

I had the same issue and applied the patch and it looks good. Thanks.

How do I add it to bazel ? tried adding this to eigen.cmake but realized that this file is generated.
Then tried to add to eigen.BUILD at cc_library.defines "eigen_PATCH_FILE=eigen-patch.txt". doesn't work either .
Will you please help and let me know what I am doing wrong ?

I am also interested in patching via bazel (building for GPU)
