Without this patch it is impossible to compile the examples if you have
compiled the DPDK into the $(RTE_SDK)/build directory, or any other one
besides $(RTE_SDK)/$(RTE_TARGET).

Hi,

Please, could you explain why is it impossible in your case?

The standard usage is:
	make T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc install
	make T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc examples O=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/examples

If you don't want to use install mode, you can build like this:
	make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
	make
	make -C examples RTE_SDK=$(pwd) RTE_TARGET=build O=$(readlink -m build/examples)

> +++ b/mk/rte.extvars.mk
> -RTE_SDK_BIN := $(RTE_SDK)/$(RTE_TARGET)
> +RTE_SDK_BIN ?= $(RTE_SDK)/$(RTE_TARGET)

I don't understand why this change could help.
You can even use this:
	make -C examples RTE_SDK=$(pwd) RTE_SDK_BIN=$(pwd)/build O=$(readlink -m build/examples)
without the patch because command line override variables.

Note that O= is optional.
