I have the same problem:

[CCode (cheader_file = "ntstatus.h", cprefix="NT_STATUS_")]
namespace NT_STATUS {
  [CCode (cname="NT_STATUS_OK")]
    public static NTSTATUS OK;
  [CCode (cname="NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY")]
    public static NTSTATUS NO_MEMORY;
  [CCode (cname="NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER")]
    public static NTSTATUS INVALID_PARAMETER;
  [CCode (cname="NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL")]
    public static NTSTATUS UNSUCCESSFUL;

    [SimpleType][Compact]
    [CCode (cname="NTSTATUS", cprefix="NTSTATUS_",
default_value="NT_STATUS_OK")]
    public struct NTSTATUS {
        [CCode (cname="NT_STATUS_IS_OK")]
        protected bool IS_OK();
    }
}


I have to specify a cname for each NTSTATUS value, or it gets a dumb
prefix and comes out as:
  nt__status_INVALID_PARAMETER
instead of
  NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
