[PATCH 0/7] Fixes for Fedora Rawhide

[PATCH 0/7] Fixes for Fedora Rawhide

[David Marchand]

Similary to https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=f4ef899bb3ae, we have
many strstr/str*chr calls on const char * stored to non const pointers.

This breaks build in Fedora Rawhide as a change in its glibc now
triggers build warnings.

Probably too late for 25.11, but sending in any case...
