There is no error, because we work around it. What we do now is that we
list the DPDK libraries in both the Libs and Libs.private sections. Without
that, we'd have the libs first and then the drivers. This doesn't cause any
issues because linking against a .so unnecessarily isn't a problem.
However, it does mean that we require that we put in flags to switch
between dynamic and static linking in the output.

Yes, it's working around a pkgconfig limitation, though also a limitation
in that we don't link against the drivers when we do a shared build.
