Unable to build Tensorflow from source MacOS High Sierra - python-3.x

Question

I've followed all the steps in the official guide. Except I built it using:
$ bazel build -c opt --copt=-mavx --copt=-mavx2 --copt=-mfma --copt=- msse4.1 --copt=-msse4.2 --config=opt -k //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
And during ./config I've set the right paths and disabled Google Cloud Platform, Hadoop, XLA, VERBS, OpenCL, CUDA, MPI support.
Hardware:
Macbook Pro 13 inch (mid 2014)
CPU: Intel Core i5 (4278U)
RAM: 8GB
Software:
High Sierra (10.13.2)
Clang Version: clang-900.0.39.2
Bazel Version: 0.9.0
Conda Version: 4.4.3
Python: 3.6.3
All the packages are upto date. This worked perfectly fine 2 months ago on this machine. For some strange reasons it doesn't build anymore now. I'm just posting a part of the error list here:
WARNING: Config values are not defined in any .rc file: opt
ERROR: Skipping 'msse4.1': no such target '//:msse4.1': target 'msse4.1' not declared in package '' defined by /Users/rakshithgb/Documents/Tensorflow/tensorflow/BUILD

And it ends like this:
ERROR: /Users/rakshithgb/Documents/Tensorflow/tensorflow/tensorflow/core/kernels/BUILD:550:1: Target '#local_config_sycl//sycl:using_sycl' contains an error and its package is in error and referenced by '//tensorflow/core/kernels:debug_ops'

ERROR: command succeeded, but there were errors parsing the target pattern
INFO: Elapsed time: 12.763s, Critical Path: 0.02s

Has anyone else had this issue? How do I fix it? I've uploaded the entire error log on GitHub Tensorflow issue page. #15622

Ok it looks like the new bazel version isn't compatible with the current Tensorflow release. It looks like the fix will be issued in the next release. According to this thread on GitHub - #15492
The temporary fix that worked for me was to build it using --incompatible_load_argument_is_label=false in the bazel command. So my build command now looks like this:
$ bazel build --config=opt --incompatible_load_argument_is_label=false //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
