[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] devtools: fix example build with old pkg-config

[Ferruh Yigit <ferruh.yigit@intel.com>]

The old version of the pkg-config [1] doesn't support '-define-prefix'
and '--path' arguments which is causing failure building the
examples [2].

Added checks for pkg-config arguments support and build examples only
if they are supported.

[1]
CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)
pkg-config version 0.27.1

[2]
 ## Building cmdline
Unknown option --define-prefix
gmake: Entering directory
`...ild-x86-default/install-root/usr/local/share/dpdk/examples/cmdline'
rm -f build/cmdline build/cmdline-static build/cmdline-shared
test -d build && rmdir -p build || true
Unknown option --define-prefix
Unknown option --define-prefix
gcc -O3  main.c commands.c parse_obj_list.c -o build/cmdline-shared
main.c:14:28: fatal error: cmdline_rdline.h: No such file or directory
 #include <cmdline_rdline.h>
