Correct.  There appear to be some strange issues with the packages that
use the bazel-build-system.  When you use "guix build --no-grafts
python-tensorflow" do you get a binary from the substitute server?

You are probably running out of memory.  The build is very costly.
Whenever I do this on my laptop I run *only* the build and nothing else
(not my browser, not even Emacs).
