Build failure in OBS with openSUSE 15.6

[Patrick Robb]

This came up for the DPDK Community Lab a few months ago and we modified
the DPDK OpenSuse Dockerfile to build and use a new version of gcc, per
community request:

-----------

RUN update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cc cc /usr/bin/gcc-14 100

-----------

It runs against our normal practice (test with the core build utilities the
distro ships with) but it was the only way to continue to provide results
for OpenSuse.
