I thought our .gitignore could do with a few entries added alright, I just 
never expected this one to be top of the list! While I don't think it does 
any harm, I'm just curious why you think it needs to be added?

Why not add *.so to ignore all built shared libraries
  

I import all my DPDK dependencies as git submodules. When the submodules contain unignored files, they get marked as dirty by git, and it makes like difficult when it comes to updating my submodule pointers.

Sure, I can put the classic C gitignore entries in there if you guys prefer. I was just trying to make the minimum change to get it to work right for my environment.

So you cannot update submodules without filling .gitignore?

I'm not a big fan of .gitignore because I like seeing what has been
generated by looking at "git status".
And it's not really needed in DPDK because compilation is often done in
a separate directory.
  

In the virtio-net-pmd it is done in the same directory. Hence me submitting this to try to make it easier for others to use the product.

Also the default DPDK doesn't ignore the build target directories... but I already had to fork that one to fix clang compile failures in the examples files.
