Ok, I will ask there. Hopefully someone know how to compile it!

About compiling Pali's original file, I got the same errors:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > gcc -Wall -g getbootstate3.c -o getbootstate
getbootstate3.c: In function 'get_bsi':
getbootstate3.c:234: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ioctl'
/var/tmp/ccYjDQYl.o: In function `get_rdmode':
/home/leli/getbootstate3.c:256: undefined reference to `cal_init'
/home/leli/getbootstate3.c:259: undefined reference to `cal_read_block'
/home/leli/getbootstate3.c:260: undefined reference to `cal_finish'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I will let you know any news, thanks
