Description
At least some predefined windows API or something data type definition related seems to be broken for the Windows x86_64 target in scc.
The simple MessageBox example from https://scc.binary.ninja/examples.html does not compile anymore.
In this case scc errors out with prototype for 'MessageBoxA' not compatible with existing declaration.
Removing the redefinition of MessageBoxA leads to type mismatch in parameter 2.
I think the issue was introduced with 2.2.2487

Research direction
Start with the SCC Windows x86_64 target and the simple MessageBox example from the Binary Ninja examples page. Compare the predefined API and data type behavior around version 2.2.2487; the work is done when the example compiles without the MessageBoxA declaration or parameter type errors.
