[dpdk-dev] pmdinfo fails with GCC link-time-optimization

[Stephen Hemminger]

GCC link-time-optimization generates much better code (at expense of build time)
so it is logical to use it for DPDK.

But the current PMDINFO steps fail since .o file is not a binary with lto.

Any ideas or planned fixes?
