Deleting sync-all

[Tamar Christina]

Hi Thomas,

Sure I can take care of that part. I'll make a separate issue for it. I
also think we should do the first part as well eventually (using mingw-w
for for both x64 and x86_64) as that solves #10435 .

Regards,
Tamar

Hi Tamar,

feel free to take over that patch <https://phabricator.haskell.org/D339>,
or extract the parts you like. It currently does (too) many things, which
is part of the reason why it stalled. See my comments in #9218
<https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9218>. Do not wait to get rid of
the perl dependency first, because it is yet unclear how to proceed (#9832
<https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9832>).

Thomas
