Note "--whole-archive" is related to the static library build, but the above
error is related to shared build, via "CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=y" option.

Adding librte_timer as a dependent library should fix the issue, like:
 diff --git a/drivers/net/ena/Makefile b/drivers/net/ena/Makefile
 index 43339f3b9..ff9ce315b 100644
