GetTickCount64 is used only for _pthread_wait_for_*_objects wrappers, where
the timeout is 32-bit anyway, so it should be possible to use GetTickCount

handling, but nothing too bad.
However, looking at _pthread_wait_for_*_objects helpers, I'd argue that they
don't make sense in the first. The comment claims that system functions have
poor accuracy and then uses a function with the same accuracy to check that
and unnecessary delay wait... I'd say we could just revert

Thanks for having a look at this level.
However, I can kinda see the argument against returning too early though,
so I could see that it makes sense to wrap WaitFor*Object(s) in a loop -
do you agree with that? Reverting it outright would lose that, but I guess
it'd be possible to unwrap a 32 bit counter without needing to use
GetTickCount64.
