Hi Andre,

When compiling drivers on Windows, instances have been seen where a

Code inspection did not reveal problems with the DPDK code and scripts,
and this issue was only seen on Windows. Adding a 1 second sleep before
cleaning up the temporary directory seems to be effective, but to
guarantee that this break does not happen anymore, flag
"ignore_cleanup_errors" is set to "True".

Not fond of this timing hack at all.
Meson 0.51 (minimum requirement is 0.57) introduced |@PRIVATE_DIR@ for custom_target() [1].
Can we use it to get rid of tempfile.TemporaryDirectory?

drivers/meson.build:
    custom_target(command: [pmdinfo, '@PRIVATE_DIR@', ...], ...)

buildtools/gen-pmdinfo-cfile.py:
    _, temp, ..., *pmdinfogen = sys.argv
    for name in subprocess.run([ar, "t", ...):
       ...
       subprocess.run([ar, "x", ...], cwd=temp)
       ...
