According to my reading, one of the subpatches threatened to disable the 
single static libs when the grouped one is built. If you are working with 
multiple DPDK apps, and one expects COMBINE_LIBS and the other does not, you 
can't use both with the same copy of DPDK anymore if that subpatch gets 
committed.
