Not sure wha problem you are trying to solve with this patch and what is the 
benefit it brings,
but general rule is that cmake project needs to be self-suffiicient to build 
running vpp tree.

In other words following sequence needs to work assuming that all mandatory 
requirements are installed in the system:

$ mkdir /some/random/path
$ cd /some/random/path
$ cmake -G Ninja /path/to/vpp/src
$ ninja
