The current DPDK build system just requires make and a shell, which is very common plus very simple to install. If cross-compiling it will be harder to get all of the tools in place to support a real automake system on a embedded environment. Cross-compiling has its own problems to address. I said "make config" will be wrapped by a "configure" script. Does it sound like using autotools? No
