Mm, can't help it but this situation reminds me of 
https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/standards.png

That aside, a bigger problem is that it doesn't seem to work.

make clean
make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/dpdk-root

...results in this:

[pmatilai@sopuli dpdk]$ make DESTDIR=/tmp/dpdk-root install
================== Installing /tmp/dpdk-root/usr/local/

[pmatilai@sopuli dpdk]$

The failure appears to be install-sdk failing since invoking it alone 
results in similar errors.

install-runtime appears to do something but it mainly installs sources 
to various directories in DESTDIR, eg:
[pmatilai@sopuli dpdk]$ find /tmp/dpdk-root/
/tmp/dpdk-root/
/tmp/dpdk-root/usr
/tmp/dpdk-root/usr/local
/tmp/dpdk-root/usr/local/lib

/tmp/dpdk-root/usr/local/bin/test-pmd/csumonly.c
/tmp/dpdk-root/usr/local/bin/test-pmd/macfwd.c
[...]


install-kmod doesn't seem to do anything at all:

[pmatilai@sopuli dpdk]$ rm -rf /tmp/dpdk-root/
[pmatilai@sopuli dpdk]$ ls build/kmod/
igb_uio.ko  rte_kni.ko
[pmatilai@sopuli dpdk]$ make DESTDIR=/tmp/dpdk-root install-kmod
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'install-kmod'.
[pmatilai@sopuli dpdk]$ find /tmp/dpdk-root/
find: ‘/tmp/dpdk-root/’: No such file or directory
[pmatilai@sopuli dpdk]$
