I've never built DPDK with musl-eabi. I don't think that your issue is
related but just note that my builds have always been done with gnueabi.

There is a patch to Buildroot that can help you with the setup. See:

 https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/611383/

Your build fails on

eal_memory.c:92:
/home/xav-101000739/Downloads/dpdk/dpdk-stable-16.11.1/build/include/rte_lcore.h:56:10: error: unknown type name 'cpu_set_t'
  typedef cpu_set_t rte_cpuset_t;

This looks like there is some issue with Linux Kernel headers.

lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_lcore.h:

 53 #if defined(__linux__)
 54         typedef cpu_set_t rte_cpuset_t;
 55 #elif defined(__FreeBSD__)
 56 #include <pthread_np.h>
 57         typedef cpuset_t rte_cpuset_t;
 58 #endif

Probably, you should set the RTE_KERNELDIR properly.

DPDK does not support OpenWRT because (as far as I know) nobody from
the DPDK community is using it in this way. I build DPDK via Buildroot
but this is unsupported by the DPDK upstream.

I could build DPDK for Cortex-A7, Cortex-A9 and Cortex-A15 in the past.

I run regular builds of the master branch and I can see no breakage
for the arm-armv7a-linuxapp-gcc configuration.

Jan
