I had to make two small adjustments in your source:

> void initpads(void) { GetPadBuf(&bb[0], &bb[1]); }
           ^
The function prototype and calls have an upper-case 'P'. Might cause an
error from a case-sensitive linker.


> int padState(int port) { return ~(*(bb[port]+3) ||  * (bb[port]+2) <<8); }
                                                  ^^

                                                  ^^
Instead of the logical OR operator '||' (I assume that's what is meant
here) the source file contained invalid characters. Might have been
scrambled through transmission, though.

Otherwise your code compiles and links without errors or warnings in my
environment. The executable does, as far as I can tell, display a timer
in the upper left corner (counting seconds) and doesn't crash.

So, what compiler or linker error messages do you get exactly? Are they
related to your source code only, or is there a problem with your header
files?

Is your environment configured correctly and compiles and links other
programs successfully?
