[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 4/7] build: MinGW-w64 support for Meson

[Dmitry Kozlyuk <dmitry.kozliuk@gmail.com>]

MinGW-w64 linker does not mimic MS linker options, so the build system
must differentiate between linkers on Windows. Use GNU linker options
with GCC and MS linker options with Clang.

MinGW-w64 by default uses MSVCRT stdio, which does not comply to ANSI,
most notably its formatting and string handling functions. MinGW-w64
support for the Universal CRT (UCRT) is ongoing, but the toolchain
provides its own standard-complying implementation of stdio. The latter
is used in the patch to support formatting in DPDK.
