It is LDLIBS instead of LDLIBS-y, following may work:

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


Also using EXTRA_LDLIBS instead of LDLIBS may remove the requirement of
the SHARED_LIB check, because of where it is located, but this seems
just coincidental.
