QBuild fails self-test with Qt 4.8.1

[ydirson]

I works with 4.8.0, yet another thing to investigate...

Looks like qbuild is blocked in the Qt event loop, waiting for some event that never comes.

Changes of note in QtCore in 4.8.1 in this respect include:

• fileEngine handling in qfileinfo (linked to IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT removal in qfilesystemmetadata ?)
• various changes in generic unix code, related to QNX support restructuring (qprocess)
• addition of QScopedLoopLevelCounter to qabstracteventdispatcher

Other stuff to keep in mind:

• asciiCacheMutex in QString
• off-by-one fix in QRegexp

In fact, qbuild is only blocked after everything has been done, after "Rule engine shutting down" run-trace.

Not a QBuild bug, much more probably a glib issue that only shows under certain circumtances. See http://bugs.debian.org/678324

Workaround: export QT_NO_GLIB=1
