That is true for normal linked in libraries (ie what ldd shows).
The DPDK is doing explicit dlopen to  load poll-mode-drivers.

I would prefer that DPDK was smarter in this area (more like the Linux kernel)
so that it could have a catalog of PCI device vendor/id table and automatically
load the PMD; but that capability is not part of the current versions.

You have to do use -d to load the right .so
