Thanks for your interest!  I have a better patch for a larger part of
Tensorflow coming up, but it’s not quite ready and I haven’t been able
to finish it yet.

I think that the patch I previously posted is not quite as useful as I
had originally hoped.  The new package uses the (now removed) CMake
build system and unfortunately must be built with all the bundled
libraries.

I’ll be away to attend a conference for the rest of this week, but I
suppose I could rebase the patch some time next week and send the work
in progress as a follow-up to https://issues.guix.info/issue/31386.
