Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the help . I was able to build DPDK using this patch on a physical machine.

Best regards,

Subject: [PATCH] eal/arm: enable FreeBSD build

This message is from an external sender. Please take care when responding, clicking links or opening attachments.

Build on FreeBSD on aarch64 failed with error:
lib/eal/arm/rte_cpuflags.c:86:9: error: unknown type name 'Elf64_auxv_t'

The data type is used by OS Linux auxiliary vector read, and not used by arch specific cpu flag API implementations. Hence remove it from Arm file.
