I'm using Ceph, which imports DPDK whole (and several other 3rd party
projects too).  I'm not sure which parts of these 3rd party projects
Ceph is actually using, but it's easier to fix the bash path
everywhere than to determine which places need it to be fixed.  And
AFAIK it doesn't cause any problems on any modern Unix derivative.
