I don't know what you have in mind for the test, but with this file you can
only detect things like using reserved keywords of C++ in DPDK headers and
things like that. It will not detect linking issues (fundamentally missing
extern "C" in function declarations), which happen from time to time,
specially with new headers.

We would need to compile a .cc/.cpp file including all these headers and
link against all the functions on those headers, similarly to what autoconf
does to test libs. I could help on that for 2.4.
