Yup. It'd be more clear if this filtering was done before translating
directories to -lrte_foo but this was the first variant I came across
that worked :) The issue is that librte_eal/common, librte_net and
librte_compat are common directory dependencies but no actual library is
generated from them so they just need to be weeded out of the equation,
the revised version makes this more clear.

Ok, will do.
