I didn't observe this on Panda build (https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/panda-ics-gcc47-tilt-tracking-blob-12.04-release/#build=4) - so looks like snowball specific issue.

comment from Zach Pfeffer:
We've had this issue for a bit. I think the guy that can solve this is Mathiue. Perhaps we should shoot for 12.06?

Mathieu,
Do you think we can have some quick analysis on this? To estimate if can be solved for 12.05?
If you think something need to be tried, do suggest.

 I haven't looked into this problem - Definitely not for 12.05.

It seems the alarm driver problem. It will show "Unable to open alarm driver" in logcat.

make enabled Android Alarm driver in kernel config, that is to set CONFIG_ANDROID_INTF_ALARM_DEV=y in .config file sovles this problem.

I downloaded the git tree( git://android.git.linaro.org/kernel/snowball.git), which has already added the alarm config information, while the release build didn't add the config information. So I think the release build comes from the different git tree.

This tree hasn't been updated since 2011-11-10.
Android build are using igloocommunity tree.
You can check that by looking at the manifest:
