Hi,

Sorry for being late for commenting.

A comment about the TILE-Mx would be welcome.
Is it supported currently?
Isn't it an ARM arch?

Why forcing this option in the defconfig file?

I don't think the CROSS variable should have a default value.
It really depends on the toolchain.

Talking about the toolchain, is it possible to build DPDK with the
provided binary toolchain http://www.tilera.com/scm/tilegx-x86_64.tar.bz2 ?
