I mainly work with a machine running Debian Testing.
I'm assuming that by DPDK 1.5 you mean the latest version as of today:
1.5.0r1.

I cannot reproduce your problem on that up to date Debian Testing machine:

cyril@aiur:~/src$ wget http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/snapshot/dpdk-1.5.0r1.tar.gz
cyril@aiur:~/src$ tar -zxf dpdk-1.5.0r1.tar.gz
cyril@aiur:~/src$ cd dpdk-1.5.0r1/
cyril@aiur:~/src/dpdk-1.5.0r1$ make install T=x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc
[...]

The build completes with no error.
I have the same version of make as you:

cyril@aiur:~/src/dpdk-1.5.0r1$ make --version

Yes it should.

I'm afraid I don't have any idea to solve your problem, but I can
confirm that it works on other Debian systems ; so I'd say the problem is
with your setup?
