There is another complication.

The ABI check is not handling properly the case where symbols are
moved to the new log library (even though the dependency to librte_log
is explicit in librte_eal elf).
For now, I don't have a good way to handle this.

A workaround to pass the check is to suppress those symbols wrt the eal dump:
[suppress_function]
        symbol_name_regexp = rte_log
[suppress_function]
        symbol_name = rte_openlog_stream
[suppress_function]
        symbol_name = rte_vlog

But this is not a good solution because we would be losing checks on
them for the rest of the v23 ABI life.
