After all the opposition this patch had in v2, I did explain the current 
issues
(see http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-March/015366.html ) and this 
was the agreed solution.

As I mention in the cover letter (also see patch 2/5), building DPDK 
(after applying this patch series) will always generate a very simple 
linker script that behaves as a combined library.
I encourage you to apply this patch series and try to build your app 
(which links against combined lib).
Your app should build without problem unless I messed up somewhere and 
it needs fixing.
