I'll send v10. 
Can someone please help with an example on how to check for ABI breaks? Thank you!

I've run:
DPDK_ABI_REF_VERSION=v21.05 DPDK_ABI_REF_DIR=~/ref ./devtools/test-meson-builds.sh
which doesn't give any warnings about the ABI break.

I've cloned the dpdk repo in "~/ref" and checkout v21.05 tag.
"~/dpdk" is on a local branch that contains my changes:

"./devtools/check-abi.sh ~/ref ~/dpdk" - didn't work.

I've then used gen-abi.sh (with a small change to skip the *.symbols,
since abidw can't handle them) to generate the *.dump files. Reruning check-abi.sh
worked this time, but didn't show the ABI break. This is the entire output:

------
WARNING: could not identify an include directory for /home/administrator/ref, expect false positives...
WARNING: could not identify an include directory for /home/administrator/dpdk, expect false positives...
Functions changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added function
Variables changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added variable
Variable symbols changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Added variable symbol not referenced by debug info
------

I've also tried to compare each file:
abidiff --suppr ./devtools/libabigail.abignore --no-added-syms  ~/ref/dump/librte_eal.dump ~/dpdk/dump/librte_eal.dump
