Hi Sapir,

Google knows everything, but everything google knows isn't necessarily 
true.  ;-)  I don't see any way your search results apply to your problem.

I don't know much about what you are doing (CPU, board, etc.), but it 
looks to me like you added a need to read the time when you configured 
for a boot delay but did not provide a means of reading time.  The 
functions get_ticks() (returning the current time) and get_tbclk() (tb = 
timebase register) apparently don't exist in your code/configuration. 
Add them and it will link.

HTH,
