The altivec.h on PPC64 breaks boolean type:

../lib/librte_eal/include/rte_trace_point.h: In function
‘__rte_trace_point_fp_is_enabled’:
../lib/librte_eal/include/rte_trace_point.h:226:9: error: incompatible
types when returning type ‘int’ but ‘__vector __bool int {aka
__vector(4) __bool int}’ was expected
return false;
It needs to be redefinded as in the stdbool.h
