I'm a bit rusty, so I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong about 
anything.

Well, you declared findMax(int, int), but you never implemented it.  That is 
perfectly valid syntacticly, but it doesn't make any sense.  Furthermore, as 
soon as you call findMax it becomes a logic error.

When the linker tries to substitute an offset for the function it fails, since 
there isn't any such function, and therefore no such address.
