Hi Jerin, Santosh,

This is because rte_common_octeontx is not compiled when gcc 4.8.5 used [1], and
when compiling examples with gcc 5.4 it assumes rte_common_octeontx compiled and
tries to link app with it which fails.

These specific compiler version conditions shouldn't break build for others.

To assign defect you guys, can you please bu sure registered into Bugzilla?

Thanks,
ferruh
