Does the syncobjs unit in the FCL need to be machine dependent any more? The

patch shows what I had in mind - delete all the syncobjs.pp files in the
platform directories.
Does the patch work for you ? If so, I'll apply it to FCL. It was planned to
do something similar, since when syncobjs was implemented, the TThreadManager
did not yet exist. Now that it does exist, syncobjs can be implemented on top
of it.
I can confirm in works for me fine on Linux - I have not tested it on
any other platform. There seems very little in the syncobjs unit, and
what there is seems to be duplicated in the Threadmanager, so it seems
to be easier to maintain with this patch.
