Seems erroneous. These errors come from referencing symbols between
incompatible sections (e.g. A static function reading a variable that is in an
__initdata section). But theres nothing like that going on in any of these
symbols referenced below (and the kernel version shouldn't matter, as this is
all dpdk internal). It could be old objects in your build from a DPDK version
where the symbols were in different sections. Do a make clean; git clean -f -d
Then reconfigure and rebuild. I expect your issue will go away.
