You are from 2 different Linux teams at IBM,
you hit the same issue at the same time,
you both miss to give an explanation,
funny.
We both work for infrastructure teams who are supporting a project team
that is developing a DPDK application that runs across multiple CPU
architectures and encountered the error.
The error comes from g++ (Ubuntu 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04) 7.3.0:
[CXX] g++ -o utils/pcap_handle.o -c utils/pcap_handle.cc -g3

Do you believe that more permissive compiler flags are the better answer?
