I'd say its just an artifact of the dpdk build system evolution and
surely we can improve it, but I'd leave it post 2.2 to avoid breaking
anything now.
I'm planning further work in this area and one of the things on my TODO
list is to look into the LDFLAGS/LDLIBS duplication. Technically, LDLIBS
should only contain the libraries to link, and all the others directives
(such as linker path etc) should go to LDFLAGS.
