[dpdk-dev] 18.08 build error on ppc64el - bool as vector type

[Chao Zhu]

Thomas,

Sorry for the late reply. DPDK will definitely be supported by IBM. I think
Pradeep and the team is working on this. Personally, I don't have enough
bandwidth to do this, we'll have a discussion internally to decide who will
take over the maintenance.

Thank you!
