x86 case it bit different as the delta between common_config and x86 is very
minimal.
for arm64 case, Following configs needs to be duplicated in both clang and gcc.
CONFIG_RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE=128
CONFIG_RTE_EAL_IGB_UIO=n
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_FM10K_PMD=n
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_SFC_EFX_PMD=n
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_AVP_PMD=n
CONFIG_RTE_SCHED_VECTOR=n
That creates mutability issue. Creating a common common_armv8_linuxapp will
fix that issue.
