There is a arm64-xgene1-linux-gcc target that can be used for a legacy
make-based build system. New meson based build doesn't support that.

DPDK exports its machine flags, extra defines and libraries to the
application build process because big and important parts of DPDK
code are in header inlines and built within the application build
process.
