  If the 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH' is set in the environment before script run,
32 bit still uses that value for 64-bits libraries.

From the build log:

"
Using DPDK_TARGET i386-pc-linux-gnu
meson  -Dexamples=l3fwd --buildtype=debugoptimized --werror
-Dc_args=-m32 -Dc_link_args=-m32
/tmp/dpdk_maintain/self/dpdk/devtools/.. ./build-32b
...
Using 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH' from environment with value:
'/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig/
"

This causes build error when linking with the found libraries.

Reproduced with 'librte_bpf' which only has 64 bit installed but still
enables building 'af_xdp' and link fails.

To fix this, using default 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH' variable unless
'CUSTOM_PKG_CONFIG_PATH' set, and set the 'CUSTOM_PKG_CONFIG_PATH' for
32 bit build.

Fixes: 9b83106d8784 ("devtools: test 32-bit build")

It was not my conclusion.
I think we can just reset all env vars.

Perhaps, but I think that may cause more problems for people who want
custom CFLAGS and LDFLAGS for building with extra 3rd-party packages.
While this can be done using the config script that is sourced in, I
suspect most of us do not use such a script.

 Therefore I'd suggest rather than clearing the env vars globally, we just
override them temporarily for the 32-bit, using CFLAGS32, LDFLAGS32,
PKG_CONFIG_PATH32 instead. That allows someone to have a 32-bit and 64-bit
version of e.g. libbpf installed, with a PKG_CONFIG_PATH pointing to each.

So you want to duplicate all vars just to avoid writing them cleanly in a file?
And what happens for other targets?

I'm tending to nack this approach.
There is no problem in using a clean config file.

Well, when you put it that way :-)
However, I was only thinking of the 3 variables above, though really it's
only the PKG_CONFIG_PATH that is going to be the most likely culprit, so
supporting just one extra var "PKG_CONFIG_PATH_32" seems reasonable.

I'm also ok with your solution of just clearing the environment and relying
on a config file too, though.

I was worried for any side affects to reset the var, this is smaller change to 
change only 'CUSTOM_PKG_CONFIG_PATH' for 'build-32b'

I can send a new version to reset 'CUSTOM_PKG_CONFIG_PATH',
what is the intention/plan with the config file?

You should use a config file to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH, PATH,
DPDK_MESON_OPTIONS, etc accordingly to build with all
your non-installed dependencies.
CUSTOM_PKG_CONFIG_PATH is a way to avoid using the config file
in a single case.

Don't be afraid breaking the assumption of theoritical users
of this script. If we want to avoid PATH reset,
we can add such line at the beginning of the script:
default_path=${PATH:-/bin:/usr/bin}

Either use 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH' environment variable or a config file, both has the 
same problem that we need two different pkg config path, one for 64bit and one 
for 32bit.

v2 of this patch provides a way to use correct one when needed.

Moving the default values from system environment or script hardcoded values to 
a config file is something else and can be done later, what do you think?

No. In the config file, you can set the right value by testing $DPDK_TARGET.
Note: the config file is a shell script.

This is not a global fix.

The root cause of your issue is using variables from the environment.
The global fix is then to reset them all,
while keeping a default value for PATH which is not only for compilation config.

This is what we have currently:

    export PATH=$default_path
    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$default_pkgpath
    export CPPFLAGS=$default_cppflags
    export CFLAGS=$default_cflags 
    export LDFLAGS=$default_ldflags
    unset DPDK_MESON_OPTIONS

The PATH needs to be restored at each run to avoid using a wrong toolchain.
The default value is best taken from the start environment,
at the condition no conflicting toolchain is already set.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH is specific to each target.
I believe it can be reset at each run and configured
only from the config file.
A default PKG_CONFIG_PATH for all targets does not make any sense.

CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS could be used to customize some options
applying to all targets in some build tests without touching the config file.

DPDK_MESON_OPTIONS could be the same as CFLAGS: take a global default from env
and restore the value at each run, so each target can have additional options
from the config file.

Reminder about what can be a config file loaded by devtools/load-devel-config:
Note: the complex regexps below are for compatibility with the Make build tests.

The implementation of the above is done in this patch:
