I took a brief look.
- GR32_Lazarus is marked as runtime package but depends on IDEIntf.
It seems this is not needed.
- Both packages use the same unit output directory.

This should work. Although I would recommend to
separate the design units.

It fails, because fpc recompiles some units of the runtime package
when compiling the design time package. I don't know why it recompiles.
Maybe because of the inlines and the many unit cycles.
This bug exists in FPC since several years.
