If we use threading.h, and wtf based mutexes, we should ALSO create the thread by wtf based method.

runScavengerThread calls the scavengerThread()

1492    void TCMalloc_PageHeap::initializeScavenger()
1493    {
1494      m_scavengeThreadActive = true;
1495      pthread_t thread;
1496      pthread_create(&thread, 0, runScavengerThread, this);
1497    }

pthread_create - should be replaced by its threading.h variant

I think Qt depends on some thread specific variables, which are not created for the thread by pthread_create

I suggest to rollout this patch until we fix and test this issue
