This patch does a few things - Moved GHC x86 to MinGW-w64 (Using Awson's patch) - Moves Both GHCs to MSYS2 toolchains - Completely removes the dependencies on the git tarball repo - Downloads only the required tarball for the architecture for which we are building - Downloads the perl tarball is missing as well - Fixed a few bugs in the linker to fix tests on Windows The links currently point to repo.msys2.org and GitHub, it might be more desirable to mirror them on http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/mingw/ as with the previous patch attempt. For more details on what the MSYS2 packages I include see #10726 (Awson's comment). but it should contain all we need and no python or fortran, which makes the uncompressed tar a 1-2 hundreds mb smaller. The `GCC 5.2.0` in the package supports `libgcc` as a shared library, this is a problem since when compiling with -shared the produced dll now has a dependency on `libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll`. To solve this the flag `-static-libgcc` is now being used for all GCC calls on windows. Test Plan: ./validate was ran both on x86 and x86_64 windows and compared against the baseline. A few test were failing due to Ld no longer being noisy. These were updated. The changes to the configure script *should* be validated by the build bots for the other platforms before landing Reviewers: simonmar, awson, bgamari, austin, thomie Reviewed By: thomie Subscribers: #ghc_windows_task_force, thomie, awson Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1123 GHC Trac Issues: #10726, #9014, #9218, #104357b211b4e
