Oh, sorry about that, I didn't realize there were untouchable files in 
the repo. Its not a very common setup :)

Yup, noticed that but assumed the warning disablers were mainly for 
things that are not trivial to fix.

This one can be worked around just as easily with 
-Wlogical-not-parentheses, but since this flag is new to gcc 5 it can't 
really be added until gcc 5 is recognized as a supported version by the 
makefiles:
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/3452/

I'll send an updated version using warning disabler once other gcc-5 
support goes in.
