That should be easy to fix - I prepared the patch but I want to send
it with second fix together.

Strange that this happens, it should be fixed in the patch:
  mk: link librte_timer with --whole-archive
which seems to be no longer needed, because similar commit is already
applied (eb54ef42b02f94c4093556fdd6b51e2d7fd0df47). That should
resolve the issue with linking (at least for gcc it is helping) by
linking timer library with --whole-archive.
Could you, please, send me build logs so I could look closer if it is
properly built with ICC as I don't have access to it?

Thanks,
Michał
