I checked

- lazarus/trunk  with FPC/trunk from a few days ago:  no import for 
gettickcount64

- fpc/fixes branch from 2026/06/13 both a sysutils only program as the 
textmode ide: no gettickcount64 import.

So the next step would be to check the offending lazarus' import section 
with some PE dump/dependency tool. If that checks for gettickcount64, 
also build it without plugins to see if the dependency is in the core 
lazarus or one of the plugins.
