Struggling with meson in dpdk 21.11

[Aldrin]

Actually, I misunderstood destdir and some of the other context, my
apologies.

I do think that it makes more sense to use "x86_64-native-linux-gcc" as a
prefix and "/opt/intel/dpdk-stable-21.11.7" as a destdir, but that seems
unlikely to solve the problem.

maybe you can redirect the output of compilation to a log file and share
its output?
