 This is known to pyzmq upstream[1] for about three years. It happens
on Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS and with ZeroMQ 4.0.x as well. While
timer_create() [4] is in librt, the standard GNU C library, it seems
pyzmq miss to link with it on the failing architectures. User reports
says that 'pip install pyzmq --install-option="--zmq=/usr/lib"' forces
the linking. I don't know how pass it to setup.py (not using pip
directly) and the path should be multiarch aware for us.

Hope this helps,
