  A while ago telemetry was added in 57ae0ec6 and it also added as-needed
to config/meson.build. This seems no more needed these days as due to other
build changes the ordering in buildlogs is:
  [...] -lrte_telemetry [...] -Wl,--no-as-needed [...]
Which means telemetry no more benefits from --no-as-needed anyway.

Overlinking problems get triggered by the meson generated pkgconfig which
will have:
   [...] -Wl,--no-as-needed <somelibsusedbydpdk>
This will overlink <somelibs> and in addition anything that follows
as it also doesn't wrap back to --as-needed. So if a projects includes
dpdk libs + <other> it will also consider <other> with --no-as-needed.

Fixes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk/+bug/1841759

This seems strange to me. What is it about linking the dpdk apps that
require the argument, but makes it safe for non-builtin apps to avoid
having the arg?

We've been wondering about that for a while :-) It also seems to be not
reproducible on Ubuntu 18.04/gcc 7.4.

Can the verbose linking log be shared here, so that we can have a look
at where no-as-needed lands? Might provide some clue

That would be the verbose linking log of the Travis CI run right?
I currently have no idea which knob to turn to get this :-/

Having it accepted in upstream would make it more easy to fix this in
the soon to be released Ubuntu 19.10.
Is there a path to consider taking this fix as-is and continue the
debug/discussion how the removal of the second line can even cause the
symptoms that we have seen later?
Or is everyone afraid that we then will not continue on it at all?

Thanks Bruce!

Is there anything else we'd need to do to get this committed?
