i'll try to compile GLib also with TSAN and report back

QT_NO_GLIB=1 seems to have no real effect

so the question is: why are Qt developers (like you?) do not use TSAN for detecting such problems?

for example in my current project: all unit tests are runned 3 times, vanilla-build, ASAN-build, TSAN-build
currently Qt is not very slience but thats why im here :)
