[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/7] build: always link-whole DPDK static libraries

[Bruce Richardson]

To ensure all constructors are included in static build, we need to pass
the --whole-archive flag when linking, which is used with the
"link_whole" meson option. Since we use link_whole for all libs, we no
longer need to track the lib as part of the static dependency, just the
path to the headers for compiling.
