I found that when I added all of the files in my folder to the project
then the quick compile failed in a unit that had been ifdef:ed out so
it is not used in any of the other units.
The reason for the ifdef:s is that its functionality is an optional
add-on and heavily Windows-centric. But it is part of the project I am
porting from Delphi/Windows to FPC/Linux. It is to be handled when all
else works.

So Lazarus quick compiled it anyway.
When I removed it from the project again the quick compile succeeded.

So it seems like a unit that is part of the project is always checked
during compile even if it is not actually part of the project due to
ifdef:s...
