[Lazarus] IDE rebuild fails on raspi4

[Tom Lisjac]

Thanks Werner.

You are correct that oleutils is outside the Windows endif... my apologies.
The monitor I'm using for the pi is very small and I should have used a
magnifying glass to confirm the problem description before posting.

Per your comments, I was able to complete the IDE rebuild after manually
compiling fpdebug, lclextensions, virtualtreeview and the
onlinepackagemanager. However when I restart Lazarus, I have to recompile
them again to do another rebuild. Not sure what's causing the lack of
persistence, but Otto Dominguez also sent me a link to a set of 2.0.6
packages he's made for the pi4 and I think I'll give those a try.

Thanks again for your reply and suggestions,

-Tom
