I see the problem.  none of the constructors are included in the l3fwd app.  I
think you might need 174572477028b7f04700389e38f87d2ba01a0adc.  Its also
possible something else has gone wrong withthe COMBINE_LIBS option.  Try
building with the head of the tree, and if that doesn't fix it, we can start
debugging in earnest.
