Glad  you have a temporary solution. I think the permanent solution may
unfortunately be
something that feels it like this (which could grow by drivers * object
classes):

bsp.h: 

  #define CONFIGURE_BSP_TIMERS_FOR_CONSOLE_DRIVER 1

confdefs.h:
  default it in the "no bsp section"
 
  later in a section for standard driver  resources

  #ifndef CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_CONSOLE_DRIVER
  #undef CONFIGURE_BSP_TIMERS_FOR_CONSOLE_DRIVER
  #define CONFIGURE_BSP_TIMERS_FOR_CONSOLE_DRIVER 0
  #endif

  and then use it in the timer configuration line.
