- Travis reported an error in meson:

- In a thread on ci at dpdk.org

UNH people confirmed that python3-elftools should be available, but
the last test had an error too, which might be linked to incorrect
meson syntax:

- As far as Intel CI systems are concerned, there might be an issue
with the Windows system:
