[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 2/5] build: use dependency() instead of find_library()

> Whenever possible (if the library ships a pkg-config file) use meson's
> dependency() function to look for it, as it will automatically add it
> to the Requires.private list if needed, to allow for static builds to
> succeed for reverse dependencies of DPDK. Otherwise the recursive
> dependencies are not parsed, and users doing static builds have to
> resolve them manually by themselves.
> When using this API avoid additional checks that are superfluous and
> take extra time, and avoid adding the linker flag manually which causes
> it to be duplicated.

This patch breaks compilation on my machine with a lot of strange errors:

from drivers/net/pcap/rte_eth_pcap.c

/usr/include/stdint.h:109: error: "__INT64_C" redefined
/usr/include/bits/stdlib-bsearch.h:32:13: error: cast discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type
/usr/include/pthread.h:682:6: error: 'regparm' attribute directive ignored
etc
