$(prefix)/share is supposed to be shareable across different 
architectures. Most of the content here is, but at least the lib symlink 
and .config file are not.

One option is to install .config and the symlinks within $(sdkdir)/$(T) 
directories, then it can be shared across architectures because each 
lives in their own directory. Another possibility is moving the whole 
sdk directory into a subdir in $(libdir), but that misses the 
opportunity to share across architectures (whether anybody actually 
cares is a whole other question :)

$(sdkdir)/lib -> $(libdir) symlink seems reasonable when installing to 
an empty staging root, but on a real-world installation it'd point to 
/usr/lib(something) which has hundreds or thousands of other unrelated 
libraries. My memory is hazy on details but I think this caused an 
actual problem with something because I ended up $(sdkdir)/lib an actual 
directory populated with symlinks to the individual DPDK libraries.
