This is a strange error, unless you mixed versions of packages (Your MdePkg is
much older than your MdeModulePkg).

Add new interface GetVariable2 and GetEfiGlobalVariable2 to return more
info. Also replace old interface with new one.

Don’t know about that, but you don’t need any system include files to compile
the MdeModulePkg. All the include files are in the edk2 that you need. The
system include files are only needed for OS hosted build tools, and the
emulators.
