[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 1/7] Revert "Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: prevent overlinking"""

[Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>]

This reverts commit f49248a990b5c34938c5246e013bc82f1296959f.
This series changes linking behavior in 19.11.x and thereby should stay
out. It breaks - for example - a rebuild of OVS 2.13 or builds
of later OVS 2.13.x stable releases.

 # Another requirement is to allow linking dependencies as shared libraries,

 # listing the static files in Libs.private with the explicit syntax -l:libfoo.a.
-# As a consequence, the regular DPDK libraries are already listed as static
-# in the field Libs.private. The second occurences of DPDK libraries,
-# included from Requires and used for shared library linkage case,
-# are skipped in the case of static linkage thanks to the flag --as-needed.
