Running ld with -r switches the linker to a very special mode where
some other linker options don't make sense.
In particular, -export-dynamic normally requires that all global
symbols be included in the dynamic symbol table, but a .o file doesn't
even have a dynamic symbol table.
When given both options it looks like the gnu linker just ignores
-export-dynamic.
Unfortunately some versions of lld (https://lld.llvm.org/) have a bug
that causes it to try to create a dynamic symbol table in the output
.o file and ends up corrupting it
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43552). Current (git) version
of lld now issues an error.
This patch filters out -export-dynamic from $(LDFLAGS) when using
-r. With this patch I can build dpdk with lld.
