[dpdk-dev] compilation error with 1.6.0r2

[Prashant Upadhyaya <prashant.upadhyaya@aricent.com>]

Hi,

I recently picked the 1.6.0r2 from dpdk.org and tried to compile it the usual way and ran into the following compilation error.
I am aware I can sidestep these by getting the compiler to treat them as warnings, but these did not use to come with 1.6.0r1 so wanted to report it here.
I am using Fedora 18 to compile this version of DPDK.

Regards
