There is a warning with MinGW on Linux:

In file included from lib/librte_eal/include/rte_eal.h:15,
                 from lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_options.c:26:
lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_options.c:
	In function ‘eal_adjust_config’:

It looks to be a false positive, but we need to find a way to remove
the warning with a code change.

This workaround in lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_options.c
makes 200% sure the default_set is initialized:

-       if (pthread_getaffinity_np(pthread_self(), sizeof(rte_cpuset_t),
-                               &default_set))
-               CPU_ZERO(&default_set);
-
+       CPU_ZERO(&default_set);
+       pthread_getaffinity_np(pthread_self(),
+                       sizeof default_set, &default_set);
