As I mention in the cover letter (also see patch 2/5), building DPDK (after applying this patch series) will always generate a very simple linker script that behaves as a combined library. I encourage you to apply this patch series and try to build your app (which links against combined lib). Your app should build without problem unless I messed up somewhere and it needs fixing. Sergio
