Harry, normal DPDK make everybody does usually will trigger
this on current master tree, I'm not sure if it is gcc version
related. On my Fedora 21, it can be reproduced very easily.
I met it when I fixed another vhost bug, I can't build DPDK
without it, that is why I want to commit it to you :-)

I have posted out v2 with more descriptive title and git log
body per your comments. Thanks a lot for your review.
