When using latest Ubuntu 12 with the distributions' AMD drivers, we get
neither AMDAPPSDKROOT nor ATISTREAMSDKROOT from the environment so
OS_TIMER does not get set to 0, and indeed we get the semaphore_wait
problems.
I have no idea how to fix this other than having all OpenCL builds set
OS_TIMER=0.
