Can you try installing a newer version of pkg-config or pkgconf. We have previously encountered issues with the version of pkg-config installed on RHEL 7 and Centos 7. It does some reordering of arguments and flags that can break things under certain circumstances. See: https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-21.11/linux_gsg/sys_reqs.html#building-dpdk-applications /Bruce
