I am afraid we can't - for size < 128 bytes we still use inline version of
memcpy -
to avoid perfomance regression.
So we still need that file to stay in include dir.

I don't have arm/ppc box to try...
Though I tried to add unexciting function name into
lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/rte_eal_version.map.
Didn't encounter any problems.
So my guess - it is harmless.
