+1 to using language standard constructs.
static_assert became standard in C11. (Formally, _Static_assert is standard C11, and static_assert is available through a convenience macro in C11 [1].)
In my opinion, our move to C11 thus makes RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON obsolete.
We should mark RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON as deprecated, and disallow RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON in new code. Perhaps checkpatches could catch this?
[1]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/_Static_assert
PS: static_assert also has the advantage that it can be used directly in header files. RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON can only be used in functions, and thus needs to be wrapped in a dummy (static inline) function when used in a header file.
