[dpdk-dev] Compiling DPDK 17.02 using musl instead of glibc

Hi, I've managed to compile DPDK 17.02 for musl instead of glibc. In essence, I had to change a number of files. I've not prepared a patch at this stage, but I wanted to share my changes with the list so that others can benefit. Firstly, I apply the following minor sed edits:- # Assumes glib

[dpdk-dev] Cross-compile bug: buildtools/check-experimental-syms.sh

Hi, I'm getting back into using DPDK after a break of about a year, and have tried to compile it again to run on Linux with the musl libc; I'm cross-compiling using a Mac and and a suitable cross toolchain (that works find for lots of other libraries; eg libverbs, rdma-core, etc). One of the firs
