I'm a bit concerned that this library is not freely available.
It makes testing difficult.

It is CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SNOW3G.

> +# SNOW3G PMD is dependent on the LIBSSO library

This is for the static library case.
The PMD should be linked to libsso also in the shared library case.
There is the same problem with -lIPSec_MB (aesni_mb driver).
