Thanks for reporting it we will fix.

Here is the plan to include the patchset upstream:
1. there is a fix on rmda-core v19+ for the 32b compilation issue seen
2. as you reported there is another compilation issue w/ v19 which needs to be solved (I will provide a fix patch).
3. #2 fix patch should be on top of series : https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=512

So the plan is to integrate the series and after it the compilation fix patch and the 32b support one.
Do you agree? 

I hope the above series will be merge at the beginning of next week.
