It is an indirect dependency which is indicated in the README:

https://github.com/DPDK/grout/blob/fd2304295a9571046824ac2675ba65dc6ebef25e/README.md?plain=1#L264-L280

This one is an FRR dependency. It has nothing to do with grout.

Although, now that FRR is always enabled when building from source, the
dependencies section should probably be updated.

I'll see if I can cook some patch.
