Dear Alexandru,
Thank you for your reply.

Yes, correct.

The procedure of Kai using cross-compilation 64-for-32 works when adding
opengl -dynamic.

It was also mentioned by Thiago in the bug-report as a suggestion.

And yes, building of Qt-5.11.1 with -no-opengl is once more broken on
windows in webengine.

Thanks once more to you and Thiago.
