You failed to include the actual command you used to compile
your program.  So, I'm guessing pilot error.

mobile:kargl[203] cat > j.c
#include <time.h>
int main(void) {
  timer_t timerid;
  timer_delete(timerid);
  return 0;
}
mobile:kargl[204] cc -o z j.c
/tmp/ccisiugw.o(.text+0x18): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `timer_delete'
mobile:kargl[205] cc -o z j.c -lrt

It appears that the manpage is wrong

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

Hint:
(cd /usr/src/lib ; find . -name \*.map | xargs grep timer)
