AFAICS those were only remaining *drivers* with external dependencies.

The libraries have dependencies of their own like you noted, but they're 
more scattered, and things start getting more complicated because of 
CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_COMBINE_LIBS etc. I plan to get to that later when time 
permits but wanted to get the driver side out of the way because they're 
the worst offenders, and one driver already does this so the situation 
is inconsistent too.
