errors in libs, undefined reference _dl_cpuclock_offset

Usually this kind of problem occurs because a library is not being included
on the linker command line.  The library is usually omitted because the 
user is constructing the linker command line for themselves, rather than 
allowing GCC to do it.  GCC frequently adds libraries and object files 
to the linker command line that the user may not know about.

If the function used to exist, but has been removed, then this would 
imply that it should no longer be used.  So in this case I would suggest 
tracking down the function(s) which are still trying to use the deleted 
dl_cpuclock_offset function and fix them appropriately.
