After second thought.
-lrte_pmd_ixgbe coming first is problem for static compilation, but
these libraries used only for dynamic compilation. And locations
shouldn't matter with dynamic compilation.

Can you please try converting to the following, that should work:

+ifeq ($(CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB),y)
+ifeq ($(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_PMD),y)
+LDLIBS += -lrte_pmd_ixgbe
+endif
+endif

I will send a patch for this.
