> My feeling is that we can make a workaround here to get WebKit moving forward, then depending on the follow up from your report to Apple: either remove the workaround when possible or try to "fix" Qt by making sure we trigger QIconvCodec's Q_GLOBAL_STATIC in the right thread. What do you think?

The radar issue is unfortunately not visible to the public.
We can possibly come up with a workaround for this particular case. But the macro is used in several places. So even if we workaround this specific issue, we might end up having the same issue somewhere else in a week.
I see only two ways to get this issue fixed.
- Wait until the compiler is fixed. (probably not a good idea)
- Change Q_GLOBAL_STATIC macro in Qt. (i'm not sure this is actually possible)

Does anybody have a good suggestion?
