What is the NO_AUTOLIB variable used for anyway, the doc states this:
* NO_AUTOLIBS: If set, the libraries provided by the framework will not be
included in the LDLIBS variable automatically.
Why was this variable created, do we have really good reason? It seems
like the variable removes almost all of the standard libs.

I think that is a hang-over from the baremetal days, and can probably go away
now. [It was probably used for the loader app or something]

If it's completely unused in DPDK, it should be removed.
