> built before EAL depend on it. Thankfully, this is not a major problem as
> the only library which uses rte_compat.h and is built before EAL (kvargs)
> already has the path to the compat.h header file explicitly called out as
> an include path.

> However, to ensure that we don't hit problems later with this, we can add
> EAL common headers folder to the global include list in the meson build
> which means that all common headers can be safely used by all libraries, no
> matter what their build order.

> As a side-effect, this patch also fixes an issue with building on BSD using
> meson, due to compat lib no longer needing to be listed as a dependency.
