Do you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH exported so that the DPDK can find the 
librte_pmd_mlx[45]_glue.so.* library?
Eg. from the the vpp build path:
~# ls $PWD/build-root/install-vpp-native/external/lib/*glue*
./build-root/install-vpp-native/external/lib/librte_pmd_mlx4_glue.so.18.02.0  
./build-root/install-vpp-native/external/lib/librte_pmd_mlx5_glue.so.19.08.0
~# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/build-root/install-vpp-native/external/lib
This is necessary for the MLX DPDK PMD.

Yes, I am using master - but VPP build will use the right DPDK version 
automatically, I do not expect different results.

Same here.

Yes.

Ha this is interesting, I'll test that, thanks.
