Hi Numan,

I've rebased two patches we have in RDO [3] rebuilds, on top of
Timothy's Fedora 28 RPM [4] and it almost worked, only ppc64le arch
build [5] failed with:

| /builddir/build/BUILD/openvswitch-2.8.0/dpdk-stable-17.05.1/ppc_64-power8-linuxapp-gcc/lib/librte_eal.a(eal_common_options.o):
In function `eal_plugins_init':

ppc64le folks, please help!


Cheers,
Alan
