It sounds like you've got some frankenversion of Asterisk in use. In 
1.4, there is no function called ast_devstate_val(). Likely, you 
backported this at some point and had it return an int since it is 
common in 1.4 for device states to be passed around as ints. Your 
suggestion of changing the declaration to an int should safely resolve 
the situation.

Also, for the record, avoid terms like "the latest devstate.c" on this 
mailing list. Since we deal with several branches of Asterisk, it is 
much more useful to state a specific branch and SVN revision or a 
specific release of Asterisk if that is what you are using.
